Sylt Lighthouses

Sylt’s coastal landscape is defined by its historic lighthouses, which have guided maritime traffic since the mid-19th century. This collection includes the cast-iron twin towers of the Ellenbogen peninsula, List West and List Ost, and the iconic striped Hörnum lighthouse. These structures represent diverse architectural styles, from the 1913 brick sector light at Rotes Kliff to the functional maritime beacons of the southern tip.
