Abruka Lighthouse (
Estonian: Abruka tagumine tuletorn) is a
lighthouse located on the island of
Abruka, in the region of
Saaremaa in western
Estonia.
The first lighthouse in Abruka was built in 1897, a 28-metre-high (92 ft) wooden structure, which had a form of a trellised wooden candelabrum. The current lighthouse was built in 1931, replacing the former wooden structure; the current lighthouse was designed by engineer Ferdinand Adoff, and constructed by Arronet and Boustedt. [2] The lighthouse is 36 metres high, but only 2 metres in diameter, with its cylindrical reinforced concrete structure painted white with three black bands. [3]
