The current 16.1-metre (53 ft) tall lighthouse is cast iron with a granite foundation.

Being an important watchpoint, the Germans built a small fortress with four guns and, after a while, a radar antenna.

The traces from World War II are still visible as trenches, tunnels, and other fortifications.

In the 1950s, the lighthouse station was electrified and the fog signal was replaced with a powerful Diaphone.

The fog signal was closed as a navigational aid in 1988, but it is still operational and is used on special occasions.
