Valsörarna lighthouse, Iron lighthouse in Korsholm archipelago, Finland

The red-painted Valsörarna lighthouse rises 36 meters above the Gulf of Bothnia, marking the northern entrance of the Kvarken strait.

The lighthouse, constructed in 1886 by architect Augustin Henry-Lepaute in Paris, remained staffed until its automation in 1964.

The lighthouse stands within the Kvarken World Heritage site, where visitors can explore the maritime heritage along the Kärleksstigen nature trail.

Access to Valsörarna requires boat transportation from Svedjehamn harbor, with designated routes leading to the island's pier.

Before the lighthouse construction, five vessels ran aground in a single night in 1879, prompting the replacement of the original tree-based navigation marker.
