About Oranienbaum Lighthouse

Also known as: Oranienbaum (Lomonosov East Pierhead)

Built in 1875, this square light tower stands 8 meters tall and is attached to a 1-story harbormaster's office. The structure originally served as a navigational aid at the end of the east breakwater pier for Lomonosov harbor. Its lantern has since been replaced by a pyramidal roof. The building is located approximately 2 kilometers from the nearest port, Lomonosov.

Why it matters: The lighthouse was essential for guiding ships into Lomonosov harbor, warning them of the breakwater and ensuring safe passage.
