Rozewie Lighthouse, Lighthouse in Rozewie, Poland
The Rozewie Lighthouse is a coastal marker on the Polish Baltic shore, constructed from concrete and steel. Three observation galleries encircle the white shaft with its red bands, rising above the clifftop.
The tower was erected in 1822 and initially relied on rapeseed oil lamps for illumination. Installation of a Fresnel lens followed in 1866, while the switch to kerosene came a decade later.
The tower takes its name from the nearby village, whose designation traces back to Slavic roots. Visitors experience the structure as a reference point for walkers along the clifftop, where paths to the beach and geological formations intersect.
Climbing the tower involves several flights of stairs before reaching the first platform, from which views extend toward Władysławowo and Jastrzębia Góra. Parking is located near Latarnia Park, allowing visitors to walk to the entrance with ease.
The beacon achieves a greater range than any other signal along Poland's coastline, projecting its light across 26 nautical miles. Twenty reflector bulbs inside the optic assembly make this performance possible.
