Jussarö Lighthouse, Coastal lighthouse in Raseborg, Finland.

The concrete lighthouse rises 25 meters above the Sundharu skerry, located 4 kilometers south of Jussarö island in the Gulf of Finland.

Built in 1922 to replace an earlier structure from the 1880s, this lighthouse marked a technological advancement as Finland's first automatically operated navigation beacon.

The lighthouse stands as a testament to Finnish maritime engineering, guiding vessels through waters affected by magnetic interference from local iron deposits.

The lighthouse emits white flashes every 12 seconds and maintains a visibility range of 12 nautical miles through its wind and solar-powered system.

The structure switched from acetylene gas to wind power generation in 1984, demonstrating early adoption of renewable energy in maritime navigation systems.
