The Phare de la Fenêtre (Fenêtre Lighthouse) stands at the Port de la Houle on the "Jetée de la Fenêtre" (Fenêtre Jetty) and was built in 1863 to ensure navigation in the busy harbor. The lighthouse's light source was modernized in 1913, and later served primarily as a landmark ("Amer"). The granite and sandstone structure is approximately 10 meters high and well preserved. Today, the lighthouse is not open to the public but can be viewed from the harbor and the pier. The famous Cancale oyster market is located in its immediate vicinity.
