Naissaar Lighthouse
German: Nargen
Naissaar got its first beacons in 1788, one on each end of the island. The northern one, in poor shape, was replaced by a limestone tower in 1849, which was badly damaged in the Crimean War and repaired by 1856. In 1941 Soviet troops blew it up. A temporary wooden tower served from 1946 to 1960, when the present 45-metre reinforced concrete lighthouse was built; its lantern room was added in 1999. The last keeper left in 2004, when the light was automated.

Eesti keeles
Naissaarele ehitati esimesed tulepaagid 1788. aastal, üks kummassegi saare otsa. Lagunenud põhjapoolne asendati 1849. aastal paekivist torniga, mis sai Krimmi sõjas raskelt kannatada ja taastati 1856. aastaks. 1941. aastal lasid Nõukogude väed selle õhku. Ajutine puittorn töötas 1946–1960, mil ehitati praegune 45-meetrine raudbetoonist tuletorn; laternaruum lisati 1999. aastal. Viimane tuletornivaht lahkus 2004. aastal, kui tuli automatiseeriti.
