I appreciate how much information is included in these Lithuanian lighthouse stamps. 

Originally built in 1796, this one was completely destroyed in WWII and reconstructed and renovated in 1953.  The focal height is 44 metres and the light range is 33 km (21 mi, or 18 nautical miles)

It's a nice buttery yellow! I just got a Postcrossing card from Lithuanian today. My first from there.

I like when they offer a lot of information, too. Plus, the design of this one is very original.
My French lighthouses are here.
