About La Corne Lighthouse
Constructed in 1876, this stone lighthouse is situated at the northeastern entrance to the Jaudy or Tréguier estuary. The cylindrical tower, standing 18 meters tall with a focal height of 14 meters, originally featured an upper cylindrical section and a lower conical base, which incorporated keeper's quarters. Its upper portion was damaged during World War II and subsequently repaired, resulting in its current truncated form. The lighthouse emits three flashes of white, red, or green light in a 12-second cycle, offering a geographic range of 11.6 nautical miles. Visitors can access the site, but the tower itself remains closed.
Why it matters: The lighthouse's unique directional light is indispensable for safe navigation into the Jaudy or Tréguier estuary, guiding vessels through specific channels and around hazards. Its rebuilt state also serves as a reminder of wartime damage to coastal infrastructure.
