Gogland South lighthouse, Navigational lighthouse in Gulf of Finland, Russia

The red brick cylindrical tower stands 25.5 meters tall on the southern tip of Gogland Island, featuring a white trim and lantern gallery.

The lighthouse location dates back to 1726 under Peter the Great's orders, with the current structure constructed in 1906 to enhance maritime navigation.

The lighthouse represents maritime traditions of the Gulf of Finland, connecting Russia's naval heritage with neighboring Finland and Estonia through centuries of navigation.

Access to the lighthouse requires advance planning through travel agencies in Primorsk, as boat transportation depends on weather conditions and military restrictions.

The lighthouse emits a white flash every six seconds from its 27-meter focal plane, guiding vessels through the strategic shipping lanes to Saint Petersburg.
