The lighthouse was built in 1862 on the "rock of the Window". It is a cylindrical stone tower of 11 m surmounted by a gallery and a lantern. These are painted black.

 

THE PIERRE-DE-HERPIN LIGHTHOUSE

To starboard the Pointe du Grouin, to port the stone of the same name. It is the second in a series of three lighthouses indicating the entrance to Mont-Saint-Michel. With its base flattened with a concave profile in order to offer the best possible foundation to resist the onslaught of the swell, on the model of the British lighthouses, the Herpin is one of the first French lighthouses at sea.
