    Construction of the lighthouse began in December 1913 and was completed in February 1914. It was put into service in March 1915, and replaced a fixed light carried by a metal tower installed in 1901. The lighthouse ceased to operate in 1951 with the construction of the Port-Bouët lighthouse in Abidjan. On July 1, 2012, the lighthouse was listed as a UNESCO world heritage site along with the town of Grand-Bassam.

    The lighthouse is a round masonry tower 17 or 24 meters high, typical of the military architecture of the time. It is located 1,500 meters north of the ocean wharf landing stage. It has a white light flashing every 5 seconds with a range of 18 nautical miles.
