Default Church as a lighthouse

A new lighthouse has gone into operation in Crimea (Black Sea). It looks
like, and actually is, an Orthodoxal Christian church. The church is not
yet open, but the light is already working. They put it in the tower
where normally a bell would be. The lighthouse is located in Ukraine but
belongs to the Moscow branch of the Church. I wonder if there are other
church/lighthouses like that anywhere...
