Keri Island<\/h1><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Keri Island is located in Northern Estonia, just six kilometers from Prangli Island<\/a>. Its total area is only 0.03 km\u00b2.<\/p>\n

The island is home to a uniquely shaped historical lighthouse, built centuries ago by the order of Peter the Great. Keri is also the first place in Estonia where natural gas was discovered, around 100 years ago. For six years, the lighthouse was powered by gas, and Estonia\u2019s first gas stove was also used here.<\/p>\n

Keri Island has no permanent residents. During the summer months, volunteer lighthouse keepers stay on the island, offering guided tours and keeping an eye on both the island and the lighthouse. Remnants of the Soviet-era border guard buildings still remain, and simple accommodation is available. Keri also boasts Estonia\u2019s northernmost sauna and even a tiny cinema.<\/p>\n

The island\u2019s upkeep is managed by the Keri Society (MT\u00dc Keri Selts)<\/a>.<\/p>\n
