About Chanse's lens:
"... On July 23, 1873, the new lighthouse began to operate. On the site of the old tower, a stone octahedral white tower 15 m high was erected, connected to a stone guardhouse. White constant fire from a diopter light-optical apparatus of the 2nd category, located at a height of 13.8 m from the base and 35 m from the level sea, illuminated the sector of the sea from 312 to 113 ° (between the stone ridges of Verkkomatala and Papinmatala) at a distance of up to 10 miles.
The light-optical apparatus was purchased in England at the factory of the Chance brothers, and the lamp for it was made in the lighthouse workshop of the Directorate of Lighthouses of the Baltic Sea.
In addition to the tower and the residential building associated with it, a wooden bathhouse, a well, a warehouse, and a road from the pier to the lighthouse were built..."
During World War II, the lighthouse was completely destroyed.
In the summer of 1945, a temporary wooden tower was built on the cape, and by 1954, work was completed on the construction of a lighthouse town and a reinforced concrete cylindrical monolithic tower 27.6 m high on a rusticated plinth. The tower is painted white with two wide red horizontal stripes. A steel lantern structure with a light-optical electric apparatus is mounted in the upper part of the tower.
