Kõpu Lighthouse
One of the world's oldest lighthouses in Estonia
Created by
Maximillian White
On Estonia's Hiiumaa island stands Kõpu Lighthouse. At 490 years old, it has stood for nearly half a millennium and has been in continuous use the entire time.
When it was built in 1531 it was initially a simple platform for bonfires that could be seen far out to the sea. As technology progressed over the centuries, it was gradually improved and upgraded into a the modern lighthouse you see today.

That's a pretty amazing feat to keep a lighthouse running for hundreds of years!
It’s really cool! The structure looks very epic coming out from the forest below.
