About Kerempe Burnu Lighthouse
Built in 1885, Kerempe Burnu Lighthouse is a white, cylindrical stone tower standing 8 meters tall. It is attached to a 1-story stone keeper's house. The lighthouse is situated on a mountainous cape, atop a cliff about 8 kilometers west of Doğanyurt and 250 meters from the shore. Its focal height reaches 82 meters, providing a geographic range of 22.9 nautical miles. The light emits a white flash every 20 seconds. Until 2006, keepers manually wound weights to operate the lens. The nearest port is Inebolu, 19.9 kilometers away.
Why it matters: The lighthouse is essential for safe passage around the Kerempe Burnu cape, a significant navigational hazard. Its depiction on a postage stamp underscores its cultural recognition.
