I decided to search for lighthouses on the Baltic Sea, and quickly found the lighthouse in Warnemünde, Germany. It's interesting for its design and for the funny looking building next to it. It's situated right on the beach, making it a solid tourist attraction.
If you're wondering where Warnemünde is, go to the inlet to the Baltic Sea, head past Denmark, and it'll be to your starboard side. This tour map makes it easy to locate.
I frequently go the Lighthouse Directory for info about particular lighthouses, but in this case I decided to go with Wikipedia, as they were comprehensive.
Warnemünde Lighthouse
Here's the Lighthouse Directory link to Lighthouses of Northeast Germany if you would rather read about it there.
Basically, it's just under 37 meters high and was first warning ships in 1898.
The Warnemünde Web site also some good pics in the scrolling feature at the top.
The funny looking building next to it is called the Teepott.
The Leibniz Institute for Baltic Sea Research Warnemünde is also located there.
Here are four pictures.
