Niechorze Lighthouse, Lighthouse in Niechorze, Poland.
Niechorze Lighthouse is a beacon tower in Niechorze, Poland, rising from a coastal cliff with a distinctive brick structure. The building features a square foundation that transitions upward into an octagonal tower section.
Construction began in 1860 following orders from maritime authorities, and the tower first shone on December 1, 1866. The beacon then served coastal shipping for generations.
A monument honoring lighthouse keepers stands at the tower's square, recognizing those who maintained the light through the years. Visitors can see this tribute while walking around the site.
The tower interior is open to visitors who want to climb up and enjoy coastal views. Stairs lead to the top, so comfortable shoes and reasonable fitness help with the ascent.
Today the tower serves as a monitoring station for ships in the Baltic Sea, automatically tracking vessel movements in coastal waters. This modern system works alongside the historic beacon for maritime safety.
