I am glad you have this hint. I was looking at lighthouses, but only on oceanic coasts!
Storozhno, Leningrad Oblast, Russia,
Storozhenskiy Mayak on Lake Ladoga, of Leningrad siege fame of course. 60.5310553,32.6277831. Another lighthouse, second tallest in Russia (7th tallest in the world says wikipedia !). The tale would have been better if this place was the start of the “Road of Life” (the ice road that was used to supply Leningrad), but no such luck.
