Kolobrzeg Lighthouse
About
The Kołobrzeg Lighthouse is a striking coastal landmark that shines over the Baltic Sea for more than a century. Built in 1945 on the foundations of a wartime fort, the 26‑metre tall cylindrical tower offers a double balcony and a white lantern that are visible from miles away. Inside the base houses a small mineral‑rock museum that showcases local geology and maritime history. Visitors to the lighthouse can climb the iron staircase to the observation platform, descend to the lantern room for a close‑up of the rotating light, and enjoy panoramic views of the port of Kołobrzeg and the surrounding Pomeranian coastline. The lighthouse’s combination of historical significance, architectural charm, and breathtaking vistas makes it a must‑visit attraction for locals and tourists alike.
