Facts and practical information

The Saint-Pol light is a lighthouse located at the end of the western pier of the port of Dunkirk, registered as a historical monument. Property of the State, it is considered to be transferred to local authorities. Paradoxically, it owes its name to Saint-Pol-sur-Mer, although it is located in Dunkirk.

Built in 1937-1938, it was lit in 1939, and is the last work of the architect Gustave Umbdenstock. It has been registered as a historical monument since December 31, 1999. It is no longer in service and its condition is worrying.
