Tags: Lighthouse, Tower.

Les Hanois Lighthouse was constructed between 1860-1862 to a new design by James Douglass and was first lit on 8 December 1862. It is sited on the rock known as Le Biseau or Le Bisé one mile north west of Pleinmont where the Trinity House cottages were built and was erected in response to an increasing number of shipwrecks on the treacherous rocks off the western coast of Guernsey. The lighthouse was constructed in Cornish granite rather than stone from Guernsey.
