Triagoz lighthouse, Stone lighthouse on the Guen-Arms rock of Triagoz archipelago in Perros-Guirec, France.
Description
Triagoz lighthouse is a stone tower on a rocky outcrop of the archipelago bearing its name off the coast of Perros-Guirec, rising about 15 meters above the sea. The structure was built from pink granite blocks sourced from nearby quarries and now operates automatically to send light signals for maritime navigation.
History
The tower was built between 1861 and 1864 to warn ships away from the rocks in these dangerous waters. Its construction was part of a broader effort to improve safety for maritime traffic along the Breton coast.
Culture
The structure takes its name from the rocky archipelago where it stands and has become a symbol of this Breton coastline visible from nearby shores. Visitors and artists are drawn to photograph it as an emblem of maritime heritage and the region's relationship with the sea.
Practical
The light signal can be seen from the nearby coast, particularly when approaching the bay of Perros-Guirec. Binoculars or a zoom camera work well to view the tower from shore since the structure is too far away to reach on foot.
Did you know?
The original lantern that once shone from the top of this tower now sits in a courtyard in Lezardrieux, a village further down the coast. This relocation reveals how maritime objects have been preserved and moved to different locations over time.
