Yttergrund Lighthouse

The maritime structure reaches a height of 43.6 meters and features red and white markings visible from the Bothnian Sea coastline.

Upon its construction in 1892, the lighthouse stood as the tallest navigational structure in Finland, utilizing kerosene before switching to acetylene in 1931.

The lighthouse complex included residences for keepers who maintained small gardens and animal shelters while tending to their maritime responsibilities.

Visitors can access the lighthouse through Kilhamn harbor, following a marked fairway that leads to the maintained pier on the island.

The steel construction of this lighthouse differentiates it from many other coastal structures, making it the third tallest lighthouse in Finland.
