Jussarö Lighthouse, Coastal lighthouse in Raseborg, Finland.
Jussarö Lighthouse is a 25-meter concrete tower standing on a rocky skerry in the Gulf of Finland, located south of Jussarö island in the outer archipelago. It sends white light signals visible for considerable distances across open water.
This lighthouse was constructed in 1922, replacing an earlier beacon from the 1880s at a different location. It became notable as one of Finland's first navigation aids to operate without permanent staffing.
The lighthouse serves as a vital navigational aid in waters where iron deposits affect compass readings. Mariners depend on its beam to safely pass through this area of the Gulf of Finland.
The lighthouse is visible from boats passing nearby, though landing on the skerry is not permitted for visitors. Summer offers the best viewing conditions with calmer seas and clearer skies for observing it from the water.
The beacon switched from acetylene gas to wind-powered generation in 1984, making it a pioneer in using renewable energy for maritime navigation. This conversion happened well before such technology became common in the marine industry.
