Oulu No 1, Sector light tower in Haukipudas, Finland

The white and steel lighthouse stands at coordinates 65.1905411, 24.5029301, marking the entrance point for vessels approaching the Gulf of Bothnia waters.

Constructed in 1964, the Oulu No 1 lighthouse provided essential navigation assistance to maritime traffic until its decommissioning on December 31, 2012.

The structure represents a standard example of Finnish maritime engineering from the 1960s, reflecting the nation's commitment to safe sea navigation.

While the lighthouse building remains visible from the shoreline, visitors should note that direct access to the structure requires advance coordination with local authorities.

The lighthouse employs different colored sector lights to indicate safe navigation channels, with each hue corresponding to specific water depth zones.
