Storozhenskiy Light, Maritime navigation tower in Lake Ladoga, Russia.
The Storozhenskiy Light is a cylindrical stone tower with red and white horizontal bands located on the eastern shore of Lake Ladoga. The structure uses a Fresnel lens system to guide vessels with sequences of white, red, and green flashes visible across the water.
This lighthouse was built in 1907 to assist navigation on Lake Ladoga's shipping routes. Over time it became an established marker for vessels traveling through the region's waterways.
The lighthouse represents Russian maritime engineering excellence as the fourth tallest stone lighthouse structure in the world, standing guard over Lake Ladoga.
The lighthouse is best viewed from the water side since it sits on a remote point of the lake. Visitors should know that access to the site is limited and boat trips provide the best way to see it up close.
This stone tower ranks among the tallest of its kind globally and stands alongside other navigation beacons in the region. The combination of its height and stone construction makes it distinctive among such structures.
