This is a replica of 1884 lighthouse. During a three-month stay on the Isla de los Estados, northeast of Cape Horn, French adventurer André Bronner rediscovered the foundation ruins of an 1884 Argentine lighthouse, the Faro de San Juan de Salvamento, which was the inspiration for the Jules Verne novel Le Phare au Bout du Monde (The Lighthouse at the End of the World). Bronner organized the Association du Phare au Bout du Monde to reconstruct this lighthouse, and, with the help of the Argentine Navy, this was accomplished in 1998. In 2000, as a Millennium project, a second replica was built off the Pointe des Minimes on the south side of the entrance to La Rochelle.
