Rønne Lighthouse (Danish: Rønne Bagfyr) is located close to the waterfront in Rønne on the Danish island of Bornholm.[2]
History and description
The lighthouse was built by the Bornholm firm H. Wichmann & Co. in 1880, replacing the simple light which had stood on the site. It was brought into service on 27 September 1880, initially with a green light which was soon changed to red. The structure consists of a tapered, white-painted octagonal tower in cast iron with a lantern and gallery. The lantern dome is painted green. The lighthouse was restored and repainted in 2000. It stands between houses slightly back from the harbour waterfront.[2][3] The overall height is 18 metres (59 ft), the cast-iron tower having a height of 12 metres (39 ft). The lighthouse was taken out of commission in 1989.[4]
