Notes:
The first lighthouse on the spot was built in 1873. It was replaced in 1879 by a small one-room house with a light on its gable and a fog bell on the roof. The lighthouse station was often damaged by ice. A new dwelling was built, but the new structure was plagued by leaks and by 1938 the ceiling was caving in. The building was torn down in 1939 and replaced by a steel skeleton tower.
