History

The decision to build was made by the German ministry of shipping; construction lasted from 1860 to 1866, and the lighthouse was put into service on December 1, 1866. In 1945 an artillery shell damaged the optical apparatus. It was rebuilt according to the old documentation and reactivated on December 18, 1948. It was thoroughly renovated in 1999-2000 and in 2023.
