The lighthouse in Gąski was built in 1878. The first source of light was the Fresnel apparatus, and in 1927 the optics based on electricity were installed. During World War II, the army's activities destroyed the lighthouse to a small extent and in 1948 it shone again. At the moment, the light source is a 1500W bulb.
Tower height: 49.80 m
Light height: 51.10 m a.s.l.
Nominal range of the light: 23.50 NM (43.522 km)
