Phare de Lanvaon, Maritime lighthouse in Plouguerneau, France

The square stone tower of Lanvaon lighthouse reaches 27 meters in height and stands 43 meters above sea level in Finistère.

The lighthouse construction began in 1868 to replace a fixed light previously installed in the Plouguerneau church bell tower in 1845.

The Lanvaon Association maintains the lighthouse structure and organizes summer events including art exhibitions and outdoor film screenings at the site.

The lighthouse emits a fixed white signal visible up to 25 kilometers away, guiding maritime traffic through the Aber Wrac'h channel.

The structure features a distinctive white and red painted western facade, positioned inland among agricultural fields rather than on the immediate coastline.
