Rosedo Lighthouse, Maritime signal tower in Île-de-Bréhat, France.

Rosedo Lighthouse is a stone tower on Île-de-Bréhat with rectangular walls and rounded front faces, rising from the rocky island into the sky. The structure features slate roofing and displays its name clearly on the white-painted exterior.

The original structure was built in 1858 but was destroyed in 1944 during World War II by occupying forces. The current tower was reconstructed in 1947 following the wartime damage.

The lighthouse marked a milestone in French maritime history when Marie-Perrine Durand became the first woman to serve as an official lighthouse keeper at this location.

The tower operates automatically and guides maritime traffic through its optical signaling system. Access to the lighthouse requires a boat journey to the island, and the walk to the tower may involve crossing rocky terrain.

The lighthouse features four optical panels with a focal length of 0.15 meters and bears the inscription 'ROSEDO' on its white-painted exterior surface.
