This lighthouse was damaged during World War II; repairs were made later. The original 1-story stone keeper's house now houses a small museum. This lighthouse marks the Pointe de Trézien, the traditional dividing point between La Manche (the English Channel) and the Atlantic Ocean. In addition to being a general navigation light, it forms a range with the Phare de Kermorvan to guide ships into the southern entrance of the Chenal du Four, the shipping route between the Île d'Ouessant and the mainland.
