This lighthouse is a replica for Europe of the lighthouse at the end of the world.

Located on the island of the States, in Argentine territory, off Cape Horn, it was made famous by Jules Verne's last novel, published in 1905.

Built in 1884, it was a major landmark in one of the most dangerous shipping areas in the world.

Abandoned in 1902, the living conditions on this island battered by wind and rain were so inhospitable, it was rediscovered in 1993 by a Rochelais, André Bronner, a great lover of solitary adventures, a true Robinson Crusoe of the modern era.

In 1994, André Bronner undertook the reconstruction of the lighthouse at the head of a team of 10 people (carpenters, joiners, painters, musicians, photographers).

A bet was then made that a second lighthouse, identical to that of the "end of the world", could illuminate the coasts of old Europe at the beginning of the 3rd millennium.

On February 26, 1998, the lighthouse at the end of the world, on the island of the States, lit up again.

On January 1, 2000, at the gates of Europe, in La Rochelle, its replica of the old continent answered it.
