Malmö breakwater lighthouse

The white cylindrical lighthouse extends 12 meters into the air, featuring a fourth-order Fresnel lens that emits white, red, and green signals every 10 seconds.

The Malmö breakwater lighthouse began its maritime service in 1925, marking the entrance to the harbor and supporting navigation through the Øresund Strait.

The Swedish Lighthouse Society maintains this structure along with other maritime beacons, preserving Sweden's connection to its naval traditions and seafaring heritage.

Ships entering Malmö harbor rely on the lighthouse's sector lights, which indicate safe navigation channels through specific color signals visible up to 13 nautical miles.

Located at coordinates 55°37'29.7"N and 12°58'34.3"E, this lighthouse employs an Iso WRG 10s pattern to guide vessels through different sectors of the waterway.
