History
The first lighthouse in Ploumanac'h dates from 1860 . Destroyed by German troops on August 4, 1944 , it was replaced by the current lighthouse in 1946 (first ignition in October 1948 ). At night, it can be identified by its red occultation light with a white sector. This last color being visible only between Tomé Island and Rouzic Island. The current version was built by Martin et frère (local construction company of the time) according to the plans of architects Henry Auffret and Hardion. The latter had to work together with the Beaux Arts to build the pink granite tower of La Clarté, so that it harmonized with the surrounding setting, classified and protected shortly before the war. The interior mosaics are the work of the artist Odorico.
