Kõpu Lighthouse — Attraction in Hiiumaa vald

Kõpu Lighthouse is one of the most impressive lighthouses I have visited. It is the third-oldest continuously operating lighthouse in the world. This massive stone tower was completed as a lighthouse in 1649. It was not until 1810 that an internal staircase was built there.

Enjoy the view over Hiiumaa...
