A historic octagonal lighthouse in the Gdańsk district of Nowy Port, modelled on the lighthouse in Cleveland, USA. The tower is about 31.3 m high. It was the first lighthouse on the Baltic to use electric light. It also served as a harbour pilots' tower. It is now decommissioned as a navigational lighthouse and open as a museum.
