Will open doors every day from sping 24.05. 2024!

It is one of the most impressive lighthouses on the island. Plans to open it formed nearly five years ago, and this year it will finally happen thanks to funding from Enterprise Estonia.
The European Regional Development Fund is providing 111,629.14 euros in support of the project. The goal is to open up the lighthouse to guests.
We are creating an exciting and long-awaited attraction for thousands of people. Everyone can admire the gorgeous Sõrvemaa area, the sea and Latvia on the horizon. The lighthouse is a substantial landmark and symbol, and many have waited for the opportunity to admire the views from the top. Having survived several wars and restorations, the lighthouse is the tallest on the Baltic Sea at 52 metres. Our wish is to open up the lighthouse to people during the 100th anniversary year of the Republic of Estonia!
