Lighthouses on postcards and postcards

(autotranslated, could have mistakes)

Someone once asked the question: “Is it possible to somehow send a letter to the lighthouse? Are there their “postal” addresses somewhere?”

As far as I came across, the lighthouses seemed to have postal addresses, because... They brought me postal envelopes with lighthouse cancellations and, accordingly, the letter could be sent. Of the latter, the Anapsky Lighthouse definitely had an address ending like “Krepostnaya, 2”

Once I was on a tiny island at a weather station, so it had an index and address, index + name of the island.

Foreign lighthouses also had addresses and delivered correspondence.
