In early August, Estonia’s easternmost lighthouse, located in Narva-Jõesuu, opened its doors to the public. This new lighthouse, built on the site of its predecessor that was destroyed in 1957 during World War II, currently has limited access. However, after further renovations, it will be fully open to visitors next year.
The lighthouse, a striking red and white concrete tower, stands 31 metres tall with its beacon reaching 35 metres above sea level. It continues to operate year-round, guiding maritime traffic with its persistent light.
Mayor Maksim Ilyin remarked in an interview with ERR that the view from the Narva-Jõesuu lighthouse is unique. Positioned close to the border, it offers views not only of the Gulf of Finland and Narva-Jõesuu, but also of Russia.
You can get more information about visiting times and tickets on Narva-Jõesuu official website (in Estonian).
