L'Anse Amour is a small town on the Strait of Belle Isle in Labrador, a part of the Canadian province of Newfoundland and Labrador. Point Amour is where is located the lighthouse.
"Located on the southeast side of Forteau Bay in the Strait of Belle Isle, the Lighthouse at Point Amour, at 32 metres, is the tallest lighthouse in Newfoundland and the second tallest in Canada. The lighthouse has a tapered, limestone and brick shaft, capped by a step and flared capital, upon which rests the lantern. A two-storey, gable-roofed dwelling, also constructed of limestone, is attached to the lighthouse by its rear wing. Both the lighthouse and the dwelling are distinguished by their smooth stone wall surfaces and classically inspired symmetry and details. The designation is confined to the footprint of the building." source : (
