This lighthouse consists of a cylindrical masonry turret 9.50 meters high. This is the old Capuchin turret which formed a 345 ° alignment with the Raoulic lighthouse. Built in 1856, it was dismantled and reassembled in Trescadec in 1887, replaced by a pyramidal landmark. The fixed light was replaced by a green directional light during reconstruction. The Trescadec and Kergadec lighthouses form an alignment at 006 °, replacing the two pyramidal landmarks that previously existed at the same locations. They indicate to the sailors the entrance to the bad weather pass, making it possible to avoid the pitfalls of Basse-Barzic, Basse-Pouldu and the plateau de la Gamelle of sinister reputation. Electrified on November 15, 1931, its fire was extinguished by notice of February 19, 1972.
