Lighthouse · 1897
Abruka Lighthouse
German: Abro
Abruka's first lighthouse, built in 1897, was a timber lattice that looked like a giant wooden candelabrum. In 1931 it was replaced by the present tower, designed by engineer Ferdinand Adoff and built by the firm Arronet & Boustedt. It is strikingly slender: 36 metres tall but only two metres across, a white concrete cylinder with three black bands, rising above the island's famous broadleaf woods south of Kuressaare.

Abruka esimene, 1897. aastal ehitatud tuletorn oli puidust sõrestik, mis meenutas hiiglaslikku puust küünlajalga. 1931. aastal asendati see praeguse torniga, mille projekteeris insener Ferdinand Adoff ja ehitas firma Arronet & Boustedt. Torn on silmatorkavalt sale: 36 meetrit kõrge, kuid vaid kahe meetrise läbimõõduga valge betoonsilinder kolme musta vöödiga, mis kerkib Kuressaarest lõunas asuva saare kuulsate laialehiste metsade kohale.
