Water Gauge in Yeongsanpo, Naju

Built around 1915, this lighthouse is an industrial facility erected at the Yeongsanpo wharf, which played an important role in maritime trade. Standing on the bank of an inland river, it served not only as a lighthouse but also as a gauge for observing the water level of the Yeongsangang River, which flooded every year. It is a concrete structure, its body still bearing traces of the formwork used in its construction, and, having been built at an early period for a lighthouse, it retains its original form to this day.
