Anseküla Lighthouse
German: Anseküll
For years, ships off the eastern shore of the Sõrve peninsula steered by a light carried on Anseküla church. In 1944, during the Second World War battles on Sõrve, the church was destroyed and the light went with it. In 1953 a separate square concrete tower with a gallery, but no lantern, was built in its place. It still flashes white every few seconds and forms a leading line with the small Lõu light three kilometres away.

Aastaid juhindusid Sõrve poolsaare idaranniku lähedal sõitvad laevad Anseküla kiriku küljes põlenud tulest. 1944. aastal, Teise maailmasõja lahingutes Sõrvel, kirik hävis ja koos sellega kadus ka tuli. 1953. aastal ehitati selle asemele eraldi nelinurkne betoontorn rõduga, kuid ilma laternaruumita. See vilgub endiselt valget tuld ja moodustab sihi kolme kilomeetri kaugusel asuva väikese Lõu tuletorniga.
