About Fort Slava Lighthouse
Also known as: Fort Slava (Kukouri Range Rear and Lehmäsaari Range Front)
A red steel skeletal mast with a white vertical stripe, standing 18 meters high on a small islet south of Kotka harbor. It displays rectangular daymarks, each red with a white vertical stripe, serving as range markers. The light shows a single green flash (Fl.G). The structure is situated on the ruins of Fort Slava, established in 1792 and demolished by British forces in 1855 during the Crimean War; these ruins are maintained as a national monument.
Why it matters: This navigation aid helps guide ships entering the Kotka harbor, with its location on the 18th-century fort ruins offering significant historical context.
