Osmussaar Lighthouse
Osmussaar has had a lighthouse since 1765, when a stone beacon was built on the island's north-western point. In 1804 it was raised and fitted with a lantern holding 24 lamps with reflectors, but ten years later the tower collapsed and a temporary wooden one took its place. A new stone lighthouse rose in 1850 and was electrified in 1902. In 1941 Soviet soldiers blew it up before evacuating the island. After another makeshift wooden tower, the present 35-metre concrete lighthouse was built in 1954, close to the island's limestone cliff.

Osmussaarel on tuletorn olnud alates 1765. aastast, mil saare loodetippu ehitati kivist tulepaak. 1804. aastal torni kõrgendati ja sellele pandi laternaruum 24 lambi ja peegliga, kuid kümme aastat hiljem torn varises ja asemele tuli ajutine puittorn. 1850. aastal kerkis uus kivitorn, mis sai 1902. aastal elektri. 1941. aastal lasid Nõukogude sõdurid selle enne saarelt lahkumist õhku. Pärast järjekordset ajutist puittorni ehitati 1954. aastal saare paekalda lähedale praegune 35-meetrine raudbetoonist tuletorn.
