Cape Arkona Lighthouses, Light station complex in Putgarten, Germany.
The Cape Arkona light station consists of two lighthouses and a marine tower situated on the northern tip of Rügen Island.
The Schinkel Tower, constructed between 1826 and 1829, served as the primary lighthouse until 1902 when the new round tower took over operations.
The Schinkel Tower now functions as a civil registry office where couples celebrate their weddings at the northernmost point of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern.
Visitors can climb 164 steps to reach the observation platform, offering views across the Baltic Sea and the peninsula of Wittow.
The maritime radio tower, built in 1927, houses exhibitions of the Rügen Museum of Prehistoric History across multiple floors.
