Märket lighthouse, Maritime lighthouse on Märket island, Finland
The cylindrical tower, constructed from stone and cast iron, rises 14 meters above the rocky terrain of the small Baltic Sea island.
The lighthouse, built in 1885 by architect Georg Schreck, operated with human staff until 1976 when automated systems replaced manual operation.
Finnish Lighthouse Society members maintain summer presence on the island, offering tours and sharing maritime navigation history with visitors.
Boat excursions depart from Käringsund harbor in Eckerö during summer months, with trips lasting between three to four hours depending on conditions.
The international border between Finland and Sweden forms an irregular Z-shape across the island to ensure the lighthouse remains in Finnish territory.
