Phare du Pilier, Maritime lighthouse in Noirmoutier-en-l'Île, France.
The Pilier lighthouse consists of two separate towers, with the second one reaching 34 meters in height with a pyramidal stone structure.
The first lighthouse tower, built in 1829, required complete reconstruction in 1877 due to damage caused by the oil lighting system.
The lighthouse stands as a central element of French maritime heritage, recognized as a historical monument since 2012 for its architecture and function.
The maritime signaling system of the lighthouse, automated since 1996, is now remotely controlled from the Saint-Nazaire station.
Both lighthouse towers stand on Pilier Island, with the first one supporting a radio antenna while the second maintains its signaling function.
