Sälgrund lighthouse, Historic lighthouse in Kaskinen, Finland.

The brick-built lighthouse rises 25 meters above Sälgrund Island, featuring red and white stripes on its circular tower structure.

Constructed in 1875 under architect Hampus Dalström's design, this lighthouse marked Finland's first implementation of petroleum-powered maritime lighting systems.

The lighthouse forms part of a maritime complex that includes former pilot stations, representing centuries of nautical navigation in the Gulf of Bothnia.

Visitors can reach the lighthouse by boat from Kaskinen harbor, with regular transportation services operating every Saturday during summer months.

The original lighting equipment remains functional inside the lighthouse, while surrounding buildings now serve as accommodation and conference facilities.
