Rondout Light, River lighthouse in Kingston, United States.

The Rondout Light stands 15 meters tall with a brick construction, featuring a square tower design attached to a building at the Hudson River entrance.

Built in 1838 and reconstructed in 1915, the Rondout Light guided maritime traffic between New York City and Albany through the Hudson River waterways.

The National Register of Historic Places recognizes this lighthouse as a testament to American maritime engineering and navigation developments of the 19th century.

The Hudson River Maritime Museum currently manages the lighthouse, which remains active with a white light flashing every six seconds across nine nautical miles.

The structure incorporates yellow brick with a black lantern, replacing an earlier bluestone lighthouse whose circular foundation remains visible at the site.
