Description
Lighthouse Styrsudden (Swedish: Styrsudden, Finnish: Seivästön majakka) is an active lighthouse located on the northern shore of the Gulf of Finland, on Cape Styrsudden (Swedish: Styrsunds udde) in the Vyborg district of the Leningrad region, near the village of Ozerki. Built in 1872 by order of the Admiral of the Fleet, Grand Duke Constantine, the Stirsudden lighthouse became a reliable landmark for sailors in this region, where there were many shoals and navigation was dangerous before the appearance of this light sign.
Estonian workers took an active part in the construction of the lighthouse, and bricks for it were delivered from Tallinn.
Otto Wilhelm von Lude was appointed head of the lighthouse. After his death, his son-in-law, the Estonian Peter Marjak, continued to hold this position. In 1914, Trofimov became the head of the lighthouse, and then, in 1918, his place was taken by sea captain Emil Virkki, who served at the lighthouse until the start of the Winter War.
In 1919, an English warship was struck by a mine near the lighthouse. Although the crew was rescued, 9 sailors were found dead and buried near the lighthouse. Lydia Virkki, the lighthouse keeper's wife, carefully looked after their graves until the winter of 1939.
