Adziogol Lighthouse

The Adziogol Lighthouse (Аджигольський маяк), also known as Stanislav–Adzhyhol Lighthouse or Stanislav Range Rear light, is one of two vertical lattice hyperboloid structures of steel bars, serving as active lighthouses in Dnieper Estuary, Ukraine. It is located about 30 km west of the city of Kherson. At a height of 211 ft, it is the sixteenth-tallest "traditional lighthouse" in the world as well as the tallest in Ukraine.

Location
It is located on a concrete pier on a tiny islet in the combined Dnieper-Bug Estuary, which extends eastward into the Dnieper Estuary, a part of the Dnieper River delta, about 2.5 km north of the village of Rybalche (Skadovsk Raion) and south of the Cape of Adzhyhol, for which it is named. Together with the Stanislav Range Front Light (Small Adzhyhol Lighthouse), it serves as a range light, guiding ships entering the Dnieper River or the Southern Buh River within the vast Dnieper-Bug Estuary.
