Hammeren Lighthouse, Stone lighthouse at Hammerknuden peninsula in Bornholm, Denmark
The cylindrical granite tower of Hammeren Lighthouse reaches 21 meters in height and features a greenish lantern dome with a focal height of 91 meters.
Built in 1872 to replace a coal-fired lighthouse from 1802, Hammeren Lighthouse operated until 1990, guiding ships with its fixed light visible from 37 kilometers.
The lighthouse and its former staff buildings represent maritime heritage on Bornholm island, with the structures now serving as private summer residences.
Visitors need to park at Hammerknuden and walk 800 meters along a paved path to reach the lighthouse, which opens its tower during summer months.
From the viewing platform, guests can observe both the Swedish coastline and the medieval ruins of Hammershus Castle across the Baltic Sea.
