Storozhenskiy Light (Russian: Стороженский маяк), also known as Storozhno Light, is an active lighthouse in Lake Ladoga, in the Leningrad Oblast, Russia.[2] It is located on a headland on the eastern side of the lake, separating the Svir Bay of the lake from the Volkhov Bay, at the village of Storozhno .
At a height of 233 feet (71 m) it is the seventh-tallest "traditional lighthouse" in the world,[3] and the fourth-tallest stone lighthouse.[4] It is a twin of the slightly shorter Osinovetsky Light.[citation needed]
The site is accessible and the tower is open by arrangement with the keeper.[citation needed]
