Marjaniemi lighthouse, Protected maritime lighthouse in Marjaniemi, Hailuoto, Finland

The cylindrical brick tower rises 25 meters above the westernmost point of Hailuoto island, featuring three distinct segments and 110 interior steps.

Architect Hampus Dalström designed the lighthouse in 1871, marking his fourth lighthouse project, with the first illumination occurring the following year.

The lighthouse stands among former keeper residences and pilot stations, reflecting the maritime heritage of Finnish Gulf of Bothnia navigation.

Visitors can climb the narrow spiral staircase to the top platform for views extending 20 kilometers across the Bothnian Bay waters.

The structure maintains its status as Finland's most intact brick-built beacon, now incorporating modern technology with an operational webcam system.
