Lighthouse Keri (formerly Kokskari)
Design: cylindrical metal tower on a stone cylindrical base, the so-called. decanter
Height from the ground: 28 m
Altitude: 31 m
Visibility range: 11 nautical miles
On Keri Island, a low rocky island in the Gulf of Finland six kilometers north of Prangli Island, there has been a lighthouse in operation since 1719. The lighthouse in the shape of a decanter, erected by order of Peter I, is considered one of the first lighthouses in the Gulf of Finland. The stone tower that has survived to this day was built in 1803; the metal superstructure was installed in 1858.
It is believed that in 1906-1912, natural gas discovered on the island was used as a fire source for the first time in the world. Nowadays, the lighthouse runs on solar energy and is controlled by a computer.

Маяк Кери (ранее Кокскяри)
Конструкция: цилиндрическая металлическая башня на каменном цилиндрическом основании, т.н. графин
Высота от поверхности земли: 28 м
Высота над уровнем моря: 31 м
Дальность видимости: 11 морских миль
На острове Кери, невысоком каменистом острове в Финском заливе в шести километрах к северу от острова Прангли, маяк действует с 1719 года. Маяк в форме графина, поставленный по распоряжению Петра I, считается одним из первых маяков в Финском заливе. Сохранившаяся до наших дней каменная башня была построена в 1803 году, надстройка из металла установлена в 1858 году.
Считается, что в 1906-1912 годах в качестве источника огня впервые в мире здесь использовали обнаруженный на острове природный газ. В наши дни маяк работает на солнечной энергии, управляет им компьютер.
