Standing on the German island of Borkum since 1576, the Old Lighthouse is a brick structure that originally served dual purposes as both a lighthouse and church steeple. Built during the late Renaissance, this monument exemplifies the practical architecture of the period, when maritime navigation aids were often integrated with ecclesiastical buildings. Now recognized as an architectural heritage monument in Lower Saxony, the Old Lighthouse remains a testament to Borkum's maritime history and early modern construction practices.
