Information

The lighthouse (Polish: Latarnia Kołobrzeg) was built in 1947, however, its history dates back to the late 17th century when the first navigation light was set up in the city’s port. The first timber-framed lighthouse was built in 1899 and was soon replaced with more sturdy bricked construction. As such the lighthouse was operational until 1945 when it was blown up by the German military. The lighthouse in its current form was rebuilt just two years later with further redesigns and restoration works. The Kołobrzeg Lighthouse is 26 metres high and its flashing light reaches nearly 30 kilometres into the sea.
