Koskela Light, Sector light tower in Taskila, Finland
The concrete lighthouse stands 5 meters tall with an octagonal shape, topped by a steel lantern positioned near the Letonniemi promontory shore.
Constructed in 1939, this lighthouse replaced an earlier 1911 structure located 920 meters southeast, serving vessels heading toward Toppila harbour until the 1990s.
The structure represents Finland's maritime heritage, marking navigation routes in the Bothnian Bay and supporting local shipping traditions for generations.
The lighthouse displayed different colored lights - green, red, and white - flashing every three seconds to guide ships through specific directional sectors.
Due to natural land uplift, the structure now stands 140 meters from the coastline, surrounded by vegetation within the Letonniemi nature reserve.
