Pakri Cape and Lighthouse in Paldiski
People come to the Pakri peninsula to watch the sea from a 25 m high cliff. The peninsula clint is guarded by the state: this is a natural scarp of international importance, a unique coastal cliff in Europe with bare Paleozoic strata.
⠀
The Pakri lighthouse, founded by Peter the Great in the 17th century, is also located here. The lighthouse stands on the natural elevation, on the edge of a high limestone rock. In 1889, the new stone lighthouse was built just 80 meters from the old one. Being 55 m high, this new lighthouse has become one of the highest in Estonia.
