Hjortens udde, Lighthouse and governmental listed building in Mellerud Municipality, Sweden.
The wooden lighthouse stands 15 meters tall on Lake Vänern, featuring a sheet iron facade and emitting white light every five seconds.
Built in 1852 by architect Gustaf von Heidenstam, the lighthouse first operated on rapeseed oil until 1888, then switched to kerosene until 1954.
The structure represents the evolution of Swedish maritime navigation, featuring technological changes from sidereal reflectors to modern electrical systems.
Located near swimming areas and outdoor paths, the lighthouse maintains a light range of 13.5 nautical miles for vessels on Lake Vänern.
The lighthouse combines both wood and sheet iron construction materials, making it a notable example of 19th-century Swedish maritime architecture.
