}}Île Vierge (Breton language: Enez-Werc'h) is a {{convert|6|ha|adj=on}}[1] islet lying {{convert|1.5|km}} off the north-west coast of Brittany, opposite the village of Lilia.[2] It is in the commune of Plouguerneau, in the département of Finistère.[2] It is the location of the tallest stone lighthouse in Europe,[1] and the tallest "traditional lighthouse" in the world.[2] The International Hydrographic Organization specifies Île Vierge as marking the south-western limit of the English Channel.[3]

History

About 1450, the Conventual Franciscans established an abbey on the island.[1] The name "Île Vierge" probably comes from a chapel dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary.[1] In 1507, the monks moved to Aber Wrac'h on the mainland.[1] In 1844, the French state purchased the island [1] from sieur Goyon de Coëpel for 6,000 francs.[4]

The first lighthouse was a square tower {{convert|33|m}} high constructed in 1842–45.[1] It started operation on 15 August 1845,[1] feast day of the Assumption of the Virgin.[7] It had a fixed white light visible for {{convert|14|nmi}}.[1] It remained in use while the second lighthouse was under construction in 1896–1902. A foghorn was installed in 1952, replaced in 1993 by an electric beacon.[1]

The newer lighthouse is {{convert|82.5|m}} tall, made of blocks of granite. The external face is a truncated cone; the interior face is cylindrical, lined with 12,500 opaline glass tiles made by Saint-Gobain.[1] There are five steps to the front door; inside, 360 steps of stone and 32 of iron lead to the lamp platform.[1] The electric lamp was installed in 1952 on the original mechanical turning plate, sitting in a bath of mercury.[1] The plate was replaced with an electric motor in 1983.[1] The lamp has four lenses with a focal length of 0.5m.[1] The twin beam gives a white flash every 5 seconds, visible for {{convert|27|nmi}}.[1] Electrical generators were installed in 1959, supplemented in 1967–1994 by two wind turbines.[1] The light and rotation are activated automatically by a photoelectric sensor.[1] Although the lighthouse is automated, the site is still manned.[8]

The island is open to the public from April to September, as is the lighthouse, by appointment.[1] The number of visitors was 5,944 in 2003; 5,974 in 2004; 7,371 in 2005.[9]
