Cape Vente Lighthouse, Maritime beacon in Šilutė District Municipality, Lithuania
The brick lighthouse rises 11 meters above the coast, providing navigation assistance for vessels traversing the Baltic Sea waters near Cape Vente.
Built in 1837, the Cape Vente Lighthouse has guided ships through the Baltic Sea waters for nearly two centuries from its position on the Lithuanian coast.
The lighthouse forms part of Lithuania's maritime infrastructure, standing as a testament to the nation's connection with seafaring and coastal navigation traditions.
Visitors should note that the lighthouse structure remains inaccessible to wheelchairs, though the surrounding grounds offer views of the Baltic coastline.
The lighthouse shares its location with one of Europe's oldest bird ringing stations, established in 1929 by Tadas Ivanauskas.
