The Triagoz lighthouse is a lighthouse in Côtes-d'Armor, France, located on the Guen-Arms rock of the Triagoz archipelago.[2] The lighthouse is closed to the public. It is a listed monument since 2017.[3]
The structure is a square tower, composed of pink granite from Ploumanac'h, with a semicircular projection towards the coast.
History
[edit]
The Triagoz lighthouse was built by the engineers Dujardin and Pelau between 1861 and 1864.
It was automated in 1984.
The lantern has been removed and resides in a courtyard in Lézardrieux.
Due to a current lack of adequate maintenance and a lack of credit, the lighthouse is deteriorating at an alarming rate and requires a complete overhaul.
