Kéréon lighthouse, Stone lighthouse monument in Île-Molène, France
The Kéréon lighthouse stands at 47.25 meters tall on the reef of Men Tensel between Ushant and Molène in the Fromveur Passage.
Construction began in 1907 with funding from Amicie Lebaudy, who donated 585,000 francs in memory of Charles-Marie Le Dall de Kéréon, a naval officer.
The interior features Hungarian oak paneling, mosaic work in the stairwell, and oak parquet flooring decorated with a wind rose inlay of mahogany and ebony.
The lighthouse underwent electrification in 1972 and transitioned to full automation in 2004, now controlled remotely from the Créac'h Lighthouse.
Located in waters with currents reaching 9 knots, the lighthouse emits one long flash followed by a short flash every 24 seconds across a 17-mile range.
