About Brondong Lighthouse
Also known as: Brondong (Van der Wijck Monument)
Built in 1938 by Dutch authorities, the Brondong Lighthouse is a square masonry tower standing 8 meters tall. Painted beige, its construction recognizes the heroism of local fishermen who rescued passengers from the steamship Van der Wijck in 1936. Located on the east side of the harbor entrance in Brondong, Indonesia, this modest structure served its original purpose for a limited time. The lighthouse is situated near the nearest port of Lamongan, approximately 7.4 kilometers away. Visitors can still access the site to learn about the community's past.
Why it matters: The Brondong Lighthouse is significant as a rare monument constructed specifically to honor local heroism, commemorating the courageous actions of fishermen during a 1936 shipwreck.
