About Stanislav-Adziogol Lighthouse#
The Stanislav-Adziogol lighthouse is a steel lattice lighthouse in Kherson Oblast, Ukraine, notable as an early example of hyperboloid structural design. It was constructed to assist navigation at the mouth of local waterways and stands as a distinct industrial-era landmark.
Designed by engineer Vladimir Shukhov, the tower exemplifies the lightweight, open-lattice hyperboloid form used in several of his works. The structure has served as a navigational aid since its construction and is valued for its engineering as well as its maritime role.
