JASTARNIA LATARNIA MORSKA

The Jastarnia lighthouse is a contemporary Polish lighthouse located in the city of Jastarnia in the Puck district (Pomeranian Voivodeship) on the coast of the Baltic Sea on the Hel Peninsula. The first lighthouse in Jastarnia was erected in 1938, but it only survived for a year and was destroyed during the war in 1939. The new lighthouse was built after the end of World War II - in 1950. The lighthouse tower is only 13.5 meters high, which makes it the lowest building of this type on the Polish coast. It was also erected as an all-metal structure, which is unique among Polish lighthouses - the only other active structure of this type with such a structure is the lighthouse in Osetnik. Currently, the lighthouse is fully automated. The range of its white light is 15 nautical miles (NM), or about 28 kilometers. At present, the administrator of the facility is the Maritime Office in Gdynia, and despite the fact that the lighthouse is not available to visitors, it is one of the important tourist attractions of the city of Jastarnia.
