Lighthouse · 1808
Narva-Jõesuu Lighthouse
There was a light at the mouth of the Narva river already under Swedish rule in the 17th century. A stone lighthouse followed in 1808 at the initiative of Leontiy Spafaryev of the Russian Admiralty; damaged in the Crimean War, it was repaired in 1870. As Hungerburg grew into a fashionable resort, the tower became its landmark among the wooden villas, pines and sandy beach. It was destroyed in 1941, and the present 31-metre concrete tower with black and white stripes was built in 1957. Today visitors can climb it for views of the coast and the river mouth.

Eesti keeles
Narva jõe suudmes põles tuli juba Rootsi ajal 17. sajandil. 1808. aastal ehitati Vene Admiraliteedi ametniku Leonti Spafarjevi algatusel kivist tuletorn, mis sai Krimmi sõjas kahjustada ja parandati 1870. aastal. Kui Hungerburgist kasvas moekas kuurort, sai tornist puitvillade, männimetsa ja liivaranna kõrval selle sümbol. 1941. aastal torn hävis ning 1957. aastal ehitati praegune 31-meetrine must-valgete vöötidega betoontorn. Täna saavad külastajad sinna ronida ja vaadata rannikut ning jõesuud.
