Lighthouse in Krynica Morska

This lighthouse is located in Krynica Morska, Pomeranian Voivoidship, Poland.

History

The original lighthouse, built in 1895, 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.
