The 59-meter-high Miķeļ Lighthouse was built in 1884 and is the tallest lighthouse in the Baltics.
A viewing platform has been built at a height of 56 meters. The lighthouse walls were previously about a meter thick, but the tower was too heavy for the sand dunes, so it has become increasingly tilted over time.
The lighthouse in the ancient Livonian village, which was formerly called Piza (meaning willow twig in Latvian), was not called the Tower of Pisa, but rather the Mihailabāka, because its purpose was to warn sailors of a run aground with the same name. Later, the name was Latvianized to Miķeļbāka, also Miķeļtornis.
