Aniva lighthouse, Sakhalin, Russia

Now-deserted lighthouse on the southmost point of Sakhalin island was bulit in 1939 by japanese. It really looks like some kind of fairy-tale castle, especially when approached from the sea during the foggy weather. It is a well-built structure, with polished concrete walls inside - it was serviced until 90ies i think, and worked as an automated lighthouse for some time as well (fuelled with some kind of nuclear batteries). Not safe to climb, but you still want to look inside.
