In total there is a 100.000+ minor navigational lights in the world. As for lighthouses there are about 20.000 of them. Inland lighthouses can differ from the sea but this depends of the region, i.e. in Great Lakes lighthouses are more less same as in the sea, but in many other areas they are much more simple.

Hola Ruben!
This is not unique location. Examples here:

I think you can find few more if you go to https://www.lightphotos.net/photos/search.php and enter "church" in the search field
Creo que puedes encontrar algunos más si entras a https://www.lightphotos.net/photos/search.php y escribes "church" en el campo de búsqueda.

Agreed, can't remember so unusual construction. Interesting why is this

Been there, looks very futuristic for sure 

It seems Middle range lights indicate center of the approach channel and daymarks - south and north edge of it so for the vessel it would be clear which side of the channel she is now. Basically if you see from the bridge any of the side marks inline - means you exactly on the edge and likely need to turn vessel back to center.   

Interesting! I would like to visit one day as well, as i was only outside.

Lighthouse is frequently used as a symbol in religion especially in Christianity, so i would say your assumption is quite valid! Even now if you google something lighthouse and church you will see many references.   

I made some research and I suspect this is not a full copy of real lighthouse or model which is not exactly scalable. Here are some considerations:

• Lantern size comparing to the whole structure height indicates that this is relatively minor light
• At the same time squares which seems should be windows are too close to each other for such structure
• Lantern is square and have a think frames which are usually to be avoided as could give a dark sectors in the light operation

The positions of windows remind number of offshore lighthouses:



As for general shape it looks like Aberdeen range lighthouses

So maybe this model is kind of combination of both as artist seen this.

Hi! I would assume this is something from UK, but any additional details available? I.e. origin of the model, region / country?
 

I've seen one in Korea but it literally around the country. You can take a special booklet and in each lighthouse they will put a special stamp into it!

Cool, thanks for advice!

I don't remember something similar

This is likely old view of H2416.1. According to LH directory it was replaced by sceletal tower in 2011

I didn't find it, maybe removed?

Cool! Will repost to blog!
