Ruhnu Lighthouse (Estonian: Ruhnu tuletorn) is a lighthouse located on the island of Ruhnu (in the Gulf of Riga), in Estonia.[2]
History
[edit | edit source]The first mention of a lighthouse on the island of Ruhnu is from the year of 1646. The current lighthouse was made in 1877, by Forges et Chantiers de la Méditerranée, a company based in France. According to rumours, the unusual design of the Ruhnu Lighthouse was made by Gustave Eiffel, however no actual proof has been given. The lighthouse's structure is made out of metal, supported by four counterforts. The lighthouse had a gallery and a sentry room, which was destroyed during World War I. The lighthouse was rebuilt in 1937.[3]
