World's Largest Replica Lighthouse of the Worlds Largest Brick Lighthouse

This is a functional replica lighthouse! There is a light in the top and a mirror rotates around the light which is more or less how the big lighthouse operates. The paintjob and base of the lighthouse are also fairly faithful representations of the original.
