This exceptional site comprises 3 lighthouses, including Eckmühl and the Old Lighthouse. The Old Lighthouse offers an exhibition on the history of lighthouses and exhibitions of contemporary art.
The Old Lighthouse was inaugurated in 1835. It remained in operation until the Eckmühl lighthouse was commissioned on 17 October 1897.
In the 1990s, it became a maritime discovery centre, housing a permanent exhibition on the history of lighthouses on the ground floor and a second exhibition of contemporary art on the first floor.
In 2021, the town of Penmarc'h and the Brittany Heritage Foundation are joining forces to restore the building via an online subscription campaign.
On 19 February 2025, a new lantern was installed. The Old Lighthouse was restored to its original splendour.
