About Saint-Antoine Lighthouse
Also known as: Saint-Antoine (Grande Passe Feu Postérieur)
Built in 1949, the Saint-Antoine light is a stone structure standing 6 meters high. It was designed to resemble a small house, with its light appearing to shine from a dormer window, an architectural illusion as there is no dwelling behind its facade. The maritime station was established in 1863, but this specific building dates to 1949. The light emitted white flashes. Its operational service concluded in 2021. The site is open to the public, although the tower itself remains closed.
Why it matters: The Saint-Antoine light is significant for its unique architectural design, which mimics a house with a false dormer. Its deactivation in 2021 reflects changes in local navigation systems.
