Undan Island Lighthouse

The Undan Island Lighthouse is located on the uninhabited islet of Undan Island, approximately 25 kilometers off the coast of mainland Malacca in Malaysia. The lighthouse was constructed by Chance Brothers and Company from Birmingham in 1879 and completed in 1880, serving as a beacon for ships traveling along the Strait of Malacca.

The lighthouse is octagonal and cylindrical in shape, housing the lantern and a gallery, and is adjoined to a single-storey keeper's house. Both structures were constructed of masonry. A more recent concrete communications tower, roughly three times the height of the original lighthouse, is situated directly beside the lighthouse. The lighthouse has undergone restoration efforts, as seen in recent years, to preserve its historical and architectural significance.

The Undan Island Lighthouse is a notable example of Malaysian colonial architecture and historical site, and its construction played a crucial role in ensuring safe navigation for ships in the Strait of Malacca. Today, the lighthouse remains an important landmark and a testament to the region's rich history and engineering prowess.
