Świnoujście Lighthouse, Maritime navigation aid in Świnoujście, Poland
The cylindrical tower rises 212 feet high, constructed entirely of yellow bricks and topped with a black lantern that guides ships at sea.
The original lighthouse from 1828 was replaced in 1857 during the Kingdom of Prussia period, when the city was known as Swinemünde.
The lighthouse keeper's refusal to destroy the structure during World War II preserved this maritime heritage for future generations to appreciate.
Visitors can climb 300 steps to reach the second gallery, where the view extends up to 45 kilometers across the Baltic Sea on clear days.
This structure holds the distinction of being both the tallest brick lighthouse and the fifteenth tallest traditional lighthouse in the world.
