About Kuala Selangor Lighthouse
Also known as: Kuala Selangor (Altingsburg, Bukit Melawati)
This cylindrical masonry tower, built in 1907, stands 27 meters tall and emits a white light. It features a round two-stage design with a lantern and gallery, all painted white. The light produces a single white flash every 15 seconds, visible for over 21 nautical miles. The lighthouse is situated on Bukit Melawati, overlooking the Selangor River estuary and the Strait of Malacca. While the site is open to the public, the tower itself is closed to visitors. It is located approximately 21.4 kilometers from Port Klang.
Why it matters: The lighthouse is important for guiding vessels navigating the Strait of Malacca and the approach to the Selangor River estuary, warning them of nearby shallow waters. Its position on Bukit Melawati also makes it a local historical landmark.
