Malmö breakwater lighthouse, Coastal lighthouse in Malmö, Sweden.
Description
The Malmö breakwater lighthouse is a white cylindrical structure rising roughly 12 meters above the water, equipped with a Fresnel lens system. The device sends colored light signals that help ships identify safe navigation channels through the harbor.
History
The structure was built in 1925 to guide ships entering the harbor and passing through the Øresund Strait. It marks an important milestone in Malmö's maritime infrastructure.
Culture
The lighthouse stands as a working marker of maritime life, visible daily to ships and those who live along the harbor. It connects the city to its seafaring traditions in a practical, lived way.
Practical
Visitors can view the structure from the water or from surrounding harbor areas, where it remains visible in various lighting conditions. The best view comes from public harbor areas, especially during daylight or at dusk.
