Rozewie Lighthouse

Rozewie Lighthouse (Latarnia Morska Rozewie) stands at Cape Rozewie on the Polish Baltic coast in Pomerania Voivodeship, in the Coastal Landscape Park in Kashubia. The cape was long regarded as Poland's northernmost point; however, measurements in December 2000 showed that this point lies on a beach in Jastrzębia Góra, where an obelisk stands.

The tower was built in 1823 from brick and fieldstone and is painted red and white. The cape had long been known to sailors as a beacon site. The tower was originally 21.3 m high and was later raised because fast-growing beech trees dimmed its light. From the gallery the view stretches from Władysławowo to Hel.

Inside the tower an exhibition explains lighthouse technology, and a small room commemorates the writer Stefan Żeromski, who wrote Wiatr od morza (Wind from the Sea) here. Practical details: according to Wikivoyage the old lighthouse lies just outside Jastrzębia Góra and is open to the public; the main road through Jastrzębia Góra is narrow and cobbled, so drive carefully there. Nearby, the Lisi Jar (Fox Gorge) ravine leads down to the coast. Check opening times and admission in advance.
