Stilo Lighthouse (Polish: Latarnia Morska Stilo) is a lighthouse located in Osetnik (formerly Stilo) on the Polish coast of the Baltic Sea, close to the village of Sasino.^[2]^[3]

The lighthouse is located in between the Czołpino Lighthouse and the Rozewie Lighthouse.^[4]

History

The lighthouse was built between 1904 and 1906 after plans by German architect Walter Körteg. The lighthouse was constructed out of a wooden frame, by the company Julius Pintsch from Berlin.^[5] Formerly the lighthouse had a rotating beacon powered by 110 V. In 1926, the lighthouse had undergone modernisation, when the former light system was replaced by a light bulb with the power of 2000 V, installing an additional emergency gas-powered system.^[6] In 2006, on the lighthouse's one hundredth year of existence – the lighthouse had undergone a complete renovation; which included a new exterior paint-scheme; a characteristic of the lighthouse.^[7]
