Lower lighthouse of Suurupi
Harju County is, simply put, the outskirts of Tallinn.
Construction: wooden
Height from ground surface: 15 m
Height above sea level: 18 m
Visibility range: 11 nautical miles
- A complex of two lighthouses on a high bank and right next to the water, both of which can be immediately seen only from the sea. The lower lighthouse, built in the mid-19th century, is unique in that it is made of wood. This structure, the width of which is almost equal to the height, is not at all similar to the lighthouses we are used to - towers pointing towards the sky.
The tetrahedral wooden tower in the shape of a pyramid was built in 1859. This is the oldest and only functioning wooden lighthouse in Estonia.
In 1885, the lower Suurupi lighthouse was reconstructed and built on. Most likely, it was intended as a temporary structure, but it is still operating successfully.
