Ewersand Lighthouse

First commissioned in 1886, it was decommissioned in 1923 after the navigable channel had shifted
In 2004 the entire lighthouse was re-floated and moved to its present location where it was turned into a museum. The staircase to the right had to be added because in the old days the keepers would climb a simple ladder on the left leg. The spiral staircase had to be added to comply with the fire code for public buildings
Too bad, I got there when the tower was clad in scaffolding to redo the wooden window frames.

Great shot with this perspective. An amazing structure. I like the spiral stairs, the people and the old German flag. "V"
