Port Północny Lighthouse, Maritime lighthouse in Gdańsk, Poland.
Port Północny Lighthouse is a maritime beacon in Gdańsk featuring a square blue tower with white control room rising 61 meters above the Baltic Sea. The structure is specifically designed to assist navigation in the northern harbor basin where intense shipping activity occurs.
This beacon was constructed in 1984 as the newest addition to Poland's coastal navigation network, positioned between existing structures at Hel and Krynica Morska. Its completion responded to growing shipping activity and the need for improved safety in this busy harbor area.
The structure carries a name reflecting its location in the northern port and serves as a familiar landmark for mariners navigating these waters. Its distinctive appearance makes it immediately recognizable to those familiar with Gdańsk Bay.
The structure emits white light continuously to guide maritime traffic in the northern harbor, making it operational both day and night. Access may be limited as it stands within an active port zone where vessel movements take priority.
This structure houses Poland's only elevator system specifically designed to access the command deck at its summit. This technical feature distinguishes it from all other lighthouses in the country and makes maintenance and daily operations significantly more efficient.
