Rising 71 meters from a headland on Lake Ladoga's eastern shore, the Storozhenskiy Light is an active stone lighthouse built in 1908 near the village of Storozhno in Leningrad Oblast, Russia. Positioned to separate the Svir and Volkhov bays, this tower ranks as the world's seventh-tallest traditional lighthouse and the fourth-tallest stone lighthouse. It was constructed as a twin to the slightly shorter Osinovetsky Light. Now designated a regional cultural heritage site, the lighthouse remains accessible and can be visited by arrangement with its keeper.
