The Galle Lighthouse (also known as the Pointe de Galle light) is the oldest light station in Sri Lanka, built in the mid-19th century and located within the walls of the Galle Fort, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The original Galle Lighthouse was founded by the British in 1848 and was the first shore lighthouse in the area, standing 24.5 meters high with a full view of Galle Harbour. In 1934, a devastating fire destroyed the old lighthouse. This led to the construction of the current lighthouse in 1939, which is taller than the original, 26.5 meters high and approximately 100 meters from its predecessor's site.
Changes over the years
The Halle Lighthouse is located approximately 4 kilometers from the city center of Halle and is built on ramparts, approximately 6 meters above road level, on a high point known as the Point Utrecht Bastion. The original lighthouse contained a glass prism placed in a mercury bath, which held the lamp level and allowed it to rotate without excessive friction. The lighthouse keepers were responsible for removing dirt and debris from the top of the bath, as well as periodically cleaning out the liquid mercury that exposed them daily to the highly toxic metal. However, today the lighting inside the Halle Lighthouse is fully automated and the responsible lighthouse keeper only needs to go upstairs to ensure its upkeep.
