Men-Hir

Active lighthouse with a focal plane of 19 m; two flashes every 6 s, white or green depending on direction. 17 m round masonry tower; lantern removed. Construction began in 1891, and the tower was nearly complete when a great storm damaged it heavily on 4 December 1896. Located on an exposed rock at the western end of the Penmarc'h reef, about 2 km west of the Pointe de Penmarc'h. Accessible only by boat. Site and tower closed.
