White lighthouse, Navigation landmark at northern mole, Klaipėda, Lithuania
The White lighthouse stands at the end of the northern mole protecting Klaipėda harbor. Its red light signals guide ships safely through the harbor entrance into port.
Construction finished in 1884 when local merchants decided to develop the northern mole. This project became an important part of the port's modernization.
The lighthouse became a national symbol when it appeared on Lithuanian banknotes. This made it one of the country's most recognized maritime images.
The lighthouse sits at the end of a long breakwater accessible from the harbor area. Visitors should wear sturdy shoes and be prepared for wind and changing weather.
During the 1930s a nautical phone system was installed to broadcast fog warnings directly to approaching ships. This technology was innovative for its time and improved maritime safety.
