Name and Location

BPRM Lighthouse (БПРМ) is a small shore light or beacon installation located in the village of Sbornyi, Syzransky District, Samara Oblast, Russia. The exact address is Sbornyi Village area, R227 road, Syzransky District, Samara Oblast, Russia, 446087.

Construction and History

The construction date and architect of BPRM are unknown, as no official records have been located in Russian lighthouse registries or cultural-heritage listings. The building's design is likely utilitarian Soviet-era design, if built in the mid- to late-20th century (speculation).

Architecture and Materials

The structure recorded as a small building or shelter with an attached light. No tower height or building materials are documented.

Light and Navigation

BPRM serves (or served) as a fixed or flashing light to aid small-craft navigation on the Kuybyshev Reservoir; may mark a shallow bank or harbour entrance. The light characteristic, focal height, range, and nautical charts information is not published.

Accessibility and Visiting

The site is visible from the adjacent road; there are no gates or visitor facilities. Access likely restricted to maintenance personnel. Visitors can approach by car along the R227 highway and park on the roadside shoulder. A short footpath leads to the light structure.

Notable Views and Landscape

The Kuybyshev Reservoir shores offer fishing, birdwatching opportunities. The village of Sbornyi features rural local life, an Orthodox chapel. The town of Syzran (20 km south) boasts 18th-century kremlin ruins, a river promenade.

Technical and Operational Details

BPRM is presumed fully automated, without on-site keepers. Its operational status is unclear; no recent Notices to Mariners or online sailing-community reports mention BPRM. The light structure appears to be basic, possibly solar-powered and automated.
