Feu de la jetée de l'Hôpital

Honfleur, France

Built at the edge of the estuary near the hospital, the lighthouse now stands some distance from the shore, apparently because land has been filled since it was built. Its lantern has been removed. In 1908 it was replaced by the Falaise des Fonds lighthouse. In 1886, the lighthouse was the subject of a well-known impressionist painting by Georges Seurat.
