Cape Vente Lighthouse, Maritime beacon in Šilutė District Municipality, Lithuania
Cape Vente Lighthouse is a brick structure located on the Lithuanian coast in Šilutė District Municipality. The tower stands about 11 meters tall on a narrow peninsula that extends into the Baltic Sea, serving as a navigation point for maritime traffic.
The structure was built in 1837 and has served maritime traffic ever since. For nearly two centuries, it has guided vessels navigating the challenging waters around the Lithuanian coast.
The lighthouse represents Lithuania's ties to maritime life and the people who depended on the sea. Locals and visitors see it as a symbol of the nation's coastal heritage and seafaring past.
The structure itself is not wheelchair accessible, but the surrounding area allows visitors to walk around and enjoy views of the Baltic coastline. The grounds are open for exploration and photography.
The location is home to one of Europe's oldest bird ringing stations, established in 1929 by Tadas Ivanauskas. This research facility has tracked bird migration patterns in the region for nearly a century.
