The reefs of Sorgu were already mentioned on theWillem Janzoon Blaeu's 1662Livonian map asSorkholm. In 1904, a 16-metre (52 ft) brick lighthouse with outbuildings was built. Later in 1913 the complex was expanded to accommodate the lighthouse keeper's family. The lighthouse has been automated since the 1970s.[2][3][4]
