It did not work as intended for long, as the waves greatly eroded the shore around it. It was built in 1756 and closed in 1877. After the shore was strengthened, the lighthouse was opened again. Today visitors can climb to its top.

Проработал по назначению совсем недолго, так как волны сильно размыли берег вокруг него. Построен был в 1756 году, а закрыт в 1877. После того как берег укрепили, маяк открыли снова. Сегодня посетители могут подняться на его вершину.
