Île Noire Lighthouse, Maritime lighthouse in Plouezoc'h, France

The square-based pyramidal tower of the lighthouse stands on a narrow rock formation measuring sixty meters long and twelve meters wide.

Following a petition from local captains in 1841, engineer Aumaître designed the lighthouse in 1843, leading to its construction completion in 1845.

The lighthouse maintains its status as a maritime navigation point, representing centuries of maritime traditions and safety measures for the local fishing community.

The structure reaches a height of 13.60 meters and contains multiple chambers, including a keeper's lodging with basic living facilities.

The lighthouse was constructed using specific materials including granite from Cléder and île Stérec, combined with local sand and limestone.
