"Built in 1922. Active; focal plane 12 m (39 ft); three flashes every 10 s, white or red depending on direction. 8 m (26 ft) square cylindrical concrete tower with lantern and gallery. The lighthouse was previously painted yellow, but Huelse's photo shows the tower painted white and the lantern and gallery blue." (visit link)
