Phare de Fatouville, Historical lighthouse in Fatouville-Grestain, France.
The Phare de Fatouville rises 32 meters high with six floors, constructed from limestone blocks sourced from the quarries of Caen.
Built in 1850 under architect Leonce Reynaud's direction, this lighthouse guided vessels through the Seine estuary until its deactivation in 1907.
The lighthouse received classification as a Monument Historique in 2011, marking its importance in French maritime architectural heritage.
Visitors can access the lighthouse on specific days throughout the year to explore its interior and climb to the observation platform.
In 1923, the lighthouse transformed from a maritime beacon to a private residence when Gaston David purchased it from the French state.
