It means "except for" in the sentence you quoted. I can't think of any situation when it would mean "in addition to".

"Apart from" means the same as "except for", so in the sentence it means - except for the exact location, many things are known about the lighthouse.

"In addition to" means "besides" or "over and above" - for instance if you say "In addition to" its exact place many things are known about the lighthouse - it would mean that the exact location is also known along with other information regarding it.

Except for the location, many things are known about the lighthouse.

I don't see how apart from can mean in addition to. Thats why it's apart...

"Apart from" means isolated from the other items. So, in your sentence about the light house, many things are known EXCEPT FOR the exact place.

I don't know that the phrase would ever be correctly used to mean "in addition to".

Hope this helps!

In your example, it means in addition to. The question could as easily read,

"In addition to it's exact location, many things are known about this lighthouse."

Usually, the phrase is used in terms of aside from/besides/except for. For example,

"Apart from the tiny scratch found along the right fender, the car was unscathed."

In the example, it means "in addition to".

There are many facts about the light house. One of the facts is the exact location of the light house. In addition to that fact, we know what color it is, when it was built, who built it, etc.

An example of it meaning "except for" would be something like:

"Apart from making boatloads of money, my job sucks." What you're saying here is that your job sucks, except for the fact that you make good money.

Apart from =aside from something else

In addition to = adding on to what you said before

Except for =something that is not included in what your talkin about

So in your sentence, it means 'except for.'

apart from = singling it out its saying except for this...

except for= not including this

in addition to= also including this bit of information

there are all closing sentences like in additoin to the babys health the will live long and healthy lives

things like this

the first one is "in addition to"

in that certain sentence, it means 'except for'.
