Phare de la Lande, Maritime navigation lighthouse in Carantec, France.

The Phare de la Lande stands 19.1 meters tall on the heights of Morlaix harbor, reaching 87 meters above sea level with its square masonry tower.

The lighthouse began operations in December 1845 following a survey that documented 25 shipwrecks in the area between 1744 and 1775.

The structure represents traditional Breton lighthouse architecture with its granite corner chains and keeper's residence, now listed in the French cultural heritage inventory.

The lighthouse employs a 650-watt lamp producing white flashes every 5 seconds, visible up to 23 nautical miles across the Morlaix Bay.

While the structure remains closed to visitors, the lighthouse operates under remote control from a central station in Brest since its automation in 1998.
