The original lighthouse was built in 1895. It had a Fresnel lens, a 2 sec on / 4 sec off characteristics, and visibility of 18 nautical miles. The source was an oil-fueled flame, converted in 1938 to electric light. This original lighthouse was destroyed in 1945 after being mined by retreating German forces. A new lighthouse, now open to visitors, was built in 1951. Adjacent to it is a small cemetery with a monument to the Soviet soldiers killed in the explosion that destroyed the original building.[3]
