Pansio lighthouse, Aerial lighthouse in Paakarla, Turku, Finland.
The Pansio lighthouse stands at an elevation of 59 meters above sea level, serving as a navigation aid for air traffic near Turku Airport.
Built in 1930, the lighthouse formed part of an intended chain connecting Helsinki and Stockholm, though the complete network never materialized.
The lighthouse represents maritime engineering from the early 20th century, reflecting Finland's commitment to aerial navigation infrastructure.
Visitors can reach the lighthouse through local transportation options from Turku, with the structure visible from multiple vantage points in Paakarla.
In 2017, the lighthouse received a modern update with the installation of light art at the top of its tower, merging historical function with contemporary design.
