Sommers Light, Maritime navigation lighthouse in Kingiseppsky District, Russia.
The lighthouse structure rises 37 meters from a rocky skerry, with its focal plane positioned 57 meters above the Gulf of Finland waters.
Established in 1808, the original brick lighthouse underwent modifications in 1866, including an increase in height to eight meters and installation of a third-class lens system.
The lighthouse bears witness to maritime engineering evolution, transitioning from simple oil lamps to modern navigation systems through different political administrations.
Ships recognize this navigation aid by its characteristic pattern of two white light flashes occurring every ten seconds in the eastern Gulf of Finland.
The lighthouse island became a battlefield on New Year's Eve 1941 when Finnish military forces occupied it for its strategic position in the Gulf.
