Built in 1937, this lighthouse was constructed through the forced labour of Hansen's disease patients. It is now an unmanned lighthouse no longer in use, but at the time of its construction it guided ships bound for Nokdong Port, and it stands today as a site that reveals the human rights abuses committed during the Japanese colonial period.
