Svaneke Lighthouse, Maritime lighthouse in Sandkås Odde, Denmark.

The square tower of Svaneke Lighthouse reaches 18 meters high and features a granite base with sandstone walls and a red roof.

The construction of the lighthouse in 1920 followed the tragic sinking of a Polish schooner that resulted in three crew members drowning.

The structure represents Danish maritime engineering, combining local granite from Nexø with regional sandstone in its architectural design.

The lighthouse, now privately owned, stands near Hullehavn inlet and operates as accommodation for visitors seeking coastal views.

The building maintained a foghorn system powered by compressed air, serving both as a visual and auditory guide for maritime navigation.
