Kiipsaare Lighthouse
Kiipsaare tuletorn
A concrete lighthouse tilted by coastal erosion and standing in shallow water at the tip of the Harilaid Peninsula. It is Saaremaa's most unusual sight.
The lighthouse was built in 1933 and originally stood on land about 100 metres from the shore. As the sandbar eroded, it came to stand in shallow water and is now noticeably tilted. It has been nicknamed 'Estonia's Leaning Tower of Pisa'. The lighthouse is on the Harilaid Peninsula within Vilsandi National Park. It is about a 5 km walk from the car park, taking 1 to 1.5 hours one way, through dunes, pine forest and beaches. There are no facilities, so bring plenty of water, and do not climb the lighthouse.
