Gogland South lighthouse

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

Gogland South lighthouse stands on the southern tip of Gogland Island in the Gulf of Finland. Its round red-brick tower, about 22 metres high, was built in 1905 and still carries a Fresnel lens made in Paris. A keeper and several families live by the light.

The first lighthouse was built at the southern tip of Gogland in 1861, equipped with a Fresnel optical apparatus made in Paris. In 1905 a new round brick tower about 22 metres high replaced it; this tower still stands. The lighthouse was modernised in the 1960s.

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

The lighthouse stands at the southern tip of Gogland, where a keeper and several families employed in hydrography and lighthouse maintenance live; they also keep their own small farm. The site is visited by tourists from time to time. Access is by sea across the Gulf of Finland, and the light still operates, flashing every six seconds.

The lighthouse's light signal flashes every six seconds; the station is operated by the Russian Baltic Fleet. A newer, taller lighthouse and a radio mast have since been built at Lounatrivi, so the 1905 brick tower is no longer the only structure on the cape.
