Phare de l’Île Vierge
Île Vierge (Breton: Enez-Werc'h) is a small islet 1.5 kilometres off the north-west coast of Brittany, opposite the village of Lilia. There is the tallest stone lighthouse in Europe, and the tallest "traditional lighthouse" in the world. It marks the south-western limit of the English Channel. The first lighthouse was a square tower 33 m high constructed in 1845 at the westernmost point of the island. It remained in use while the second lighthouse was under construction in 1896–1902. A foghorn was installed in 1952, replaced in 1993 by an electric beacon. The newer lighthouse is 82.5 m tall, made of blocks of granite.
