The original lighthouse tower was reconstructed in 1908 because the first structure was located too far from the coastline to be effective.
It is the northernmost lighthouse in Poland.
The lighthouse is constructed entirely of red brick, a characteristic material for 19th-century maritime architecture in the region.
The lantern room was upgraded significantly over the decades to accommodate modern electrical lighting systems while maintaining its original masonry base.
The Jarosławiec lighthouse is a historic 33.3-meter-tall brick tower situated on the Polish Baltic coast. Built in 1835, the lighthouse uses a specialized optical system to project light visible up to 16 nautical miles out to sea. The structure consists of a conical tower constructed from red brick, resting on a round base. Visitors can climb the internal spiral staircase to access a viewing platform that offers panoramic views of the Baltic Sea and the surrounding village. It currently functions as an active navigational aid for ships. The site is located in the center of the coastal village of Jarosławiec. The facility is officially recognized as a protected historical monument.
