Primorsky Krai, Hasansk MO, Cape Bruce
This lighthouse has become a legend and a place of pilgrimage for history lovers, photographers and travelers.

On the west coast of the famous Peter the Great Bay, among the breathtaking landscapes of the Khasan district of Primorye, the Busse Lighthouse, also known as Bruce Lighthouse or Slavyansky, majestically rises. This place is a real magnet for travel enthusiasts and explorers of the south coast.

The name of the lighthouse is inextricably linked to the history of the Cape, which in 1855 received its name from English sailors, perhaps as a tribute to one of the British officers. Construction of the lighthouse itself began in the 1910s under the leadership of French engineers and has retained its original architecture to this day

The height of this monumental structure is impressive: 59.1 meters above sea level, and the distance from the coast is only 30 meters. The lighthouse tower consists of a brick trunk seven and a half high and a copper lantern three and a half meters high. The fire signal of the lighthouse rises 68 meters above the water surface, becoming a symbol of reliability for navigators.

The entrance to the lighthouse is limited - this is a regime zone of the Ministry of Defense of Russia. Bruce Lighthouse continues to carry an important mission under the jurisdiction of the Hydrographic Service of the Pacific Fleet, ensuring the safety of navigation through the waters of Peter the Great Bay.

This lighthouse has become a legend and a place of pilgrimage for history lovers, photographers and travelers. His majestic figure against the backdrop of sea expanses inspires real adventures to the southern shores of Primorye, recalling the times of past eras of navigation and colonial expansion.
