Lighthouse in Sopot

Sopot light house which also serves as a sightseeing tower was built during construction of balneaotherapy building in 1903 – 1904. It is open during season, the main entrance is from pier, you have to pay first at the pier entrance and then when entering the light house, the price is no more than one dollar. The balneaotherapy building required its own boiler room and chimney; the architect came with good idea to build around the tall chimney light house and sightseeing tower. The are a lot of sculptures and stained-glass windows in the building. Over the main porch you can see sculpture of siren with Tryton. Tryton (Tryton Roman name Triton Greek name) comes from Greek & Roman Mythology and he is God of the sea and son of Poseidon. The entrance is also decorated with arms of Sopot. To commemorate the founder of the resort town Jean Haffner, a commemorating plate was attached to the wall of the building.
