Kiipsaare tuletorn (also Harilaid tuletorn or Kiipsaare päevamärk ) is a lighthouse at the extreme tip of the Harilaid peninsula ( Estonian Harilaid poolsaar) on the island of Saaremaa in Estonia .
The lighthouse was built in 1933 and is 25 meters high. Since it was built on sand , i.e. an unfavorable foundation , the lighthouse soon tilted. For many years it was in danger of collapsing and therefore no longer accessible. It was not until around 2006, when it was already completely in the water due to the progressive erosion , that it was erected and given a better foundation.
In a recent Estonian film about World War II, "Somnambuul", the tower plays an important role.
It is a tourist attraction of the Vilsandi National Park , the oldest national park in Estonia, established in 1971.
