One of many lighthouses in this area. This is the Gatteville lighthouse, and was built in 1835. The light can be seen from the Isle of Wight on the coast of England (about 100 kilometres from here). It is especially interesting because of numbers: it has 12 stories, 52 windows, and 365 steps to the top. The little tower behind it is a weather station.
