Stawa Młyny beacon in Świnoujście, Poland
Hold your charge, Quixote, the crews aboard the ships that need to dock at the Port of Świnoujście in Poland prefer that the lighthouse is in good working order. When officials were making upgrades to the Baltic Sea port in 1873, they built this lighthouse to look like a windmill. Due to its unusual appearance in contrast to its function, the light, known as Stawa Młyny, is a popular photo-op for locals and visitors alike.
