The Goury Lighthouse stands on a reef a few hundred yards from the shore at the Cap de la Hague in Normandy.
Construction of this granite tower was completed in 1837. It was built after a dreadful sequence of twenty seven shipwrecks in the year 1823. The lighthouse is 157 feet tall and houses a gigantic lantern with powerful lenses.
