Kereon lighthouse is built on Men Rensel reef (aggressive rock in Breton language) between Ouessant and Molène islands in the Fromveur path at Iroise Sea.
Built between 1907 and 1916, it was partly sponsored through a 585 000 francs donation  by Amicie LEBAUDY (total building cost reached 941 000 francs).
Therefore it was named after donator's great-uncle, Charles-Marie Le Dall de Keréon, a navy officer decapitated during The French Revolution.
This donation allowed a lavish interior design including a mosaic patched staircase, an oak tree floor with  a dial shaped marquetry made of ebony and mahogany together with Hungarian oak tree panelings.
It was the last sea lighthouse  to become automated and controlled from Créac'h on December 12th 2003.
