Kołobrzeg Lighthouse, Maritime lighthouse in Kołobrzeg, Poland
The Kołobrzeg lighthouse stands at the harbor entrance between the Parsęta River and the breakwater as a red brick tower. The structure sits on a historic fort platform dating from the 18th century.
The original lighthouse was destroyed in 1945 by German sappers, leading to reconstruction of the present structure in 1947. The site marks an important moment in the port city's recovery after wartime destruction.
The lighthouse is connected to the port's maritime heritage and honors Polish soldiers who lost their lives during wartime. It has become a symbol of the city's connection to the sea and its resilience.
Visitors can climb an interior staircase of about 100 steps to reach an observation platform. From there, you can see the harbor, the coastline, and the open sea.
The lighthouse sends out regular light signals at night to guide ships through safe navigation channels toward the harbor entrance. This system has been operating for decades and remains essential for safe maneuvering in this part of the Baltic Sea.
