Anseküla Lighthouse

About

Anseküla Lighthouse (Estonian: Anseküla tuletorn) is a lighthouse located in Anseküla, on the eastern side of the Sõrve Peninsula, on the island of Saaremaa, in Estonia. The original light was on a church, which was destroyed during World War II in 1944. The current lighthouse was built in 1953. It is a concrete square tower, with a gallery but no lantern. The lighthouse's glare configuration flashes a white glare every 1.5 seconds. "Navigatsioonimärgi 932, Anseküla tuletorn andmed". Navigatsioonimärkide andmekogu (in Estonian). 7 January 2019.
