The Triagoz Lighthouse is located on the Guen-Arms rock of the Triagoz archipelago in Perros-Guirec, Côtes-d'Armor, France. Built between 1861 and 1864 by engineers Dujardin and Pelau, the lighthouse was constructed using pink granite from Ploumanac'h. The structure stands at a height of 49 feet and has a focal height of 95 feet, featuring a square tower with a balcony and an unpainted, square shape.
The Triagoz Lighthouse was automated in 1984, and its lantern has been removed and relocated to a courtyard in Lézardrieux. Unfortunately, the lighthouse has been deteriorating due to inadequate maintenance and a lack of funding, requiring a complete overhaul. Despite its current state, the lighthouse is listed as a monument since 2017 and remains a notable landmark in the area.
