Switzerland is land-locked, but it also has some fairly large lakes. Two of them have lighthouses. Lake Geneva has a few actual lighthouses, one that's apparently pretty famous, for which it is easy to find lots of pictures of. The other one is less famous, and because it is in close proximity to a very large water fountain, sometimes it is not noticed. But it is there. It is called the Jetée du Sud Light ("Southern Jetty" light, I would think). The first picture shows it with the fountain (full size here). The second one shows just the lighthouse itself. The third one shows the most famous one in the distance with the Jetée du Sud Light in the foreground.
