In 1857 the Lighthouse Board took over the tower, and a French company was commissioned to turn the tower into a functional lighthouse, which was fully automated in 1920.
1857. aastal sai selle torni endale Majakakomitee ning ühel Prantsusmaa firmal lasti see torn muuta funktsionaalseks majakaks, mis automatiseeriti täielikult 1920. aastal.
