This lighthouse was founded by the Dutch in 1875, or two years after the first Dutch military aggression to Aceh. The building is rich in architectural value is erected on one side of the hill that directly faces the sea.

Menurut beberapa sumber, selain disini, di Karibia juga ada mercusuar yang sama, mercusuar Williams Torren. Selain di Negara Belanda sendiri yang sekarang sudah dijadikan meseum.

According to some sources, besides here, in the Caribbean there is also the same lighthouse, the lighthouse of Williams Torren. In addition to the Netherlands itself is now used as a meseum.

Mercusuar yang dibangun pada masa berlangsung peperangan yang dahsyat dengan Aceh, didanai oleh Raja Luxemburg, Willem alexander Paul Frederich Lodewijk. Atas dasar itu mercusuar tersebut dinamai Williams Torren. Raja Williams diketahui sangat banyak membantu koloni Hindia-Belanda pada masa itu.

The lighthouse built during a time of enormous warfare with Aceh, funded by King Luxemburg, Willem Alexander Paul Frederich Lodewijk. On that basis the lighthouse is named after Williams Torren. King Williams was known to help the colony of the Dutch East Indies at that time.

Mercusuar ini didirikan dengan tujuan ingin mempersiapkan bandar di laut Sabang, untuk mempermudah memantau setiap kapal yang akan masuk ke perairan Sabang, Aceh. Mercusuar ini dibangun dengan mempekerjakan orang-orang Pulo Aceh pada masa itu.

This lighthouse was established with the aim of preparing the airport in the sea of ​​Sabang, to make it easier to monitor every ship that will enter the waters of Sabang, Aceh. This lighthouse was built by employing the people of Pulo Aceh at that time.

Mercusuar yang memiliki tinggi 85 meter, seperti yang dikatakan orang yang mendiami kawasan setempat, juga memiliki pondasi dengan kedalaman yang sama dengan tinggi bangunan itu sendiri. Bangunan yang sangat kokoh ini pun tetap aman ketika gempa bumi dahsyat menerjang Aceh di tahun 2004. Sampai sekarang kondisi mercusuar masih sangat bagus. Lampu-lampu masih terpasang di beberapa sudut. Ketika senja hari, kira-kira jam setengah 7 WIB lampu disini terus dinyalakan yang semakin memperlihatkan kesan eksotis dari situs sejarah satu ini.

The 85-meter-high lighthouse, as it is said by the people inhabiting the local area, also has a foundation with the same depth as the height of the building itself. This very sturdy building was still safe when a devastating earthquake hit Aceh in 2004. Until now the condition of the lighthouse is still very good. The lights are still installed in some corners. At dusk, at about seven-thirty pm, the lights here continue to be lit that increasingly show the exotic impression of this historical site.
