Kikut Lighthouse is an automated, non-manned navigational beacon situated on a 74-meter-high cliff within the Wolin National Park. Built in 1962 by converting a former pre-war lookout tower, it serves as a navigational aid on the Baltic Sea coast. The structure is unique among Polish lighthouses because it is the only one not continuously staffed. Its light has a range of approximately 16 nautical miles. The tower is constructed of stone and is accessed via designated hiking trails through the surrounding coastal forest. The site offers views of the coastline and the surrounding woodland of the Wolin National Park.
