About Pointe du Millier Lighthouse
Pointe du Millier Lighthouse was built in 1881 from stone as a semicylindrical tower attached to a one-story keeper's house. The tower stands 8 meters tall, with its light positioned 34 meters above sea level. Its light produces two white occultations every 6 seconds and has a geographic range of 16 nautical miles. The lighthouse displays white, red, and green light signals to provide directional guidance. The site is open to the public, though the tower itself is closed.
Why it matters: This lighthouse is important for navigation in Baie de Douarnenez, offering specific sector guidance through its colored lights. Its design, integrating the tower with the keeper's house, is a notable architectural feature.
