Ulkokalla Lighthouse, Coastal lighthouse on Ulkokalla island, Kalajoki, Finland

The brick tower lighthouse measures 13.7 meters in height and features a classic design with a lantern room at the summit.

Architect Hampus Dalström designed this structure in 1871, which began operating with a fourth-order Fresnel lens system from France in 1872.

The lighthouse marks an essential navigation point in the Gulf of Bothnia, guiding vessels through the northern Finnish waters since the 19th century.

The lighthouse emits three white flashes every 20 seconds with a range of 8.9 nautical miles, powered by wind and solar energy since 1986.

Located 20 kilometers from mainland on a small islet measuring 400 meters long and 200 meters wide in the Bothnian Bay.
