Laidunina Lighthouse

The Laidunina Lighthouse is located in Kahtla Peninsula, Laimjala Parish, on the island of Saaremaa in Estonia. Built in 1907, the lighthouse features a cylindrical tower with a hexagonal stone base, constructed from stone and brick. Initially, it had a lantern and a gallery, but the lantern was removed and the lighthouse was deactivated in 1924. The lighting equipment was transferred to the Kübassaare Lighthouse.

Today, the lighthouse remains as a monument of Estonia's cultural heritage, recognised in 2005. Its unpainted stone structure stands at a height of 24 meters, with a focal height of 27 meters. Although it is no longer operational, the Laidunina Lighthouse remains an important part of Estonia's maritime history and a notable tourist attraction.
