Hoburg lighthouse, Coastal lighthouse in southern Gotland, Sweden.
The limestone tower rises 21.7 meters high on the southernmost point of Gotland, featuring a first-order Fresnel lens installed in 1915.
Carl Linnaeus suggested building a lighthouse at this location in 1741, but construction only began in the 1840s due to frequent navigation issues.
The lighthouse stands as the second navigation aid structure built on Gotland, following Östergarnsholm lighthouse which was established in 1806.
The Swedish Maritime Administration maintains this automated lighthouse, which remains open for interior visits during summer months.
The light system evolved from crude oil to kerosene, and since 1951 uses electrical power with four light sources visible for 27 nautical miles.
