Description
The Ouistreham lighthouse was built in 1905. It stands at the eastern end of the beaches invaded by Allied troops on D-Day, 6 June 1944. Captured by British forces in the initial assault, it escaped destruction by the Germans. The lighthouse stands beside the lock at the entrance to the Canal de Caen � la Mer, which allows vessels to reach the city of Caen, 14 km (9 mi) to the south.
