About Long Pèlerin Lighthouse
Also known as: Long Pèlerin (Long Pilgrim)
Built in 1862, the Long Pèlerin lighthouse stands on a long, narrow island that is the summit of a submerged ridge in the St. Lawrence River, near Saint-André-de-Kamouraska. The cylindrical tower, standing 12 meters tall, was originally part of a 1-1/2 story keeper's house. Its upper section is painted white, while the lower portion remains unpainted. The lighthouse ceased operations in 1982, and the keeper's house was demolished in the 1980s. The site is open to the public, though the tower itself is closed.
Why it matters: The lighthouse warned mariners of the submerged ridge forming the island, serving as a navigational aid in the St. Lawrence River.
