History of Thangassery Light House
Before the construction of the Thangassery Light House, the British East India Company had constructed a tower with an oil lamp at the spot. In 1902, it was finally decided to build the lighthouse. By 1930, it began to develop significant cracks in its structure, and major modifications were made to it in 1932, 1940, 1962, 1967, 1990 and then finally in 1994. In 2016, an elevator facility was developed at the Thangassery Lighthouse for the convenience of the visitors.
How to Reach Thangassery Lighthouse
The Thangassery Light House is easily accessible since it is located in a good area, just 7.9 kilometres away from the centre of the town of Kollam. One can quickly reach the place by hiring a cab or by using means of public transport; though the former is the more advisable option. The lighthouse is also located near the Kollam Beach, and one can even choose to walk to the lighthouse from the beach.
