THE HISTORY OF THE LIGHTHOUSE

The waters of the Gdańsk Bay are separated from the Vistula Lagoon by a promontory with high dunes, mostly covered with coniferous forests. The average height of the spit is 20-25 m. One of the highest places on the spit (a dune about 29 meters high) was located about 500 m northeast of Kahlberg, today's Krynica Morska (until 1958 Łysica). This place was chosen as the location of the lighthouse, which would enable safer night navigation not only in the south-eastern part of the Gdańsk Bay, but also in the waters of the Vistula Lagoon.

The Maritime Administration of the time, which supervised this basin in Neufahrwasser (now Gdańsk Nowy Port), commissioned Edward Stach, a contractor from Elbląg, to build the tower and the technical and social building. Work began in early June 1894.

One of the symbols of Krynica Morska - the lighthouse was built in 1951 on the site of the 19th-century structure destroyed in 1945. It has a conical structure with a tower 26.5 meters high. The light of the lighthouse is located at an altitude of 53 m above sea level. and is created thanks to 2 light bulbs with a power of 1000 W. The tower structure is empty inside with stairs attached to the tower walls.
