Its construction began in 1835 however the lighthouse was not successful due to a number of physical factors.

The lighthouse was built about 400 metres from the coast – this proved to be too low to be effective for navigation.

Its light was not very visible because it was obscured by trees and it was soon decided to build a new tower closer to the beach.

The light is located at a height of 50.2m above sea level and with a range of 23 nautical miles.

The lighthouse, located in Jaroslawiec is a characteristic of the village – open to tourists.
