Gdańsk Nowy Port Lighthouse

Located in Tricity, monumental Gdańsk Nowy Port Lighthouse is closed for a long time but serves today as a tourist attraction.

The lighthouse is 27-meter tall. It's an integral part of the landscape of this part of Gdańsk and a great vantage point with a view on Westerplatte and Gdańsk Bay. Apart from wonderful sights, what brings tourists attention is also the so-called time ball - a special device used by the 19th-century sailors for setting ship clocks. Gdańsk Nowy Port Lighthouse also comes from this time.

The times when Gdańsk Nowy Port Lighthouse was used for navigation belong to the past. Despite this, light is still turned on, however, not in sailors sake, but to show how it works to tourists.
