Lighthouse in Rozewie

Historical information

This lighthouse is linked with a legend created by the elderly lighthouse keeper Leon Wzorek that Stefan Zeromski wrote his novel "The Wind from the Sea" here (there is a small monument and a commemorative plaque).

The lighthouse is made up of two parts, the first is built from brick and resembles a broad, truncated cone, and the second, standing on top, is made from metal. Of the three observation galleries only the lowest is open to the public.

The attraction here is the Lighthouse Museum. Exhibits include a presentation about the evolution of lighthouses from ancient times until today, models of lighthouses and their locations, and a rotating table with a Fresnel lens to name but a few.

The tower is now 33m, the height of the light is 83.2m above sea level and the range is 26.0 nautical miles.
