Kolka lighthouse
The present building of the lighthouse is situated about 7 kilometres far in the sea at the end of the dangerous shoal. The lighthouse was built in 1884 on an artificially made island. The stones for the island were brought from the neighbourhood. The performance of the lighthouse has been gradually improved. At present it works automatically, from 1993 - with the help of solar batteries.
