Tourelle de la Plate
Tourelle de la Plate, Maritime cardinal mark and lighthouse in Plogoff, France
The Tourelle de la Plate stands 9.5 meters high on the Brittany coast, constructed from concrete with an octagonal turret on a cylindrical base.
The lighthouse underwent multiple construction phases from 1887 to 1896, followed by reconstruction in 1909 after sustaining severe storm damage in December 1896.
The structure carries two distinct functions as both a lighthouse and a cardinal mark, contributing to the maritime navigation heritage of Finistère.
Located at coordinates 48°02′21″N 4°45′35″W, the lighthouse emits white flashing signals every 1.2 seconds to guide vessels through the Raz de Sein strait.
The lighthouse stands 260 meters southwest of La Vieille lighthouse, forming part of a network of maritime beacons that safeguard ships in these waters.
