Nyhamn lighthouse, Coastal lighthouse in Lemland, Finland
Nyhamn lighthouse is a white brick tower standing on the island of Jarso in the Aland Sea, rising about 34 meters above the water. The structure was built to guide maritime traffic through this coastal area and remains a notable landmark visible from considerable distances.
The lighthouse began operating in 1958 as part of Finland's maritime navigation system. Its lighting was deactivated in 2007, though the building has remained as a recognized coastal marker.
The lighthouse represents Finland's commitment to maritime safety, reflecting the nation's strong connection to seafaring traditions and naval architecture.
The lighthouse is located on an island and is best viewed from the water via boat or ship tours in the area. The best vantage point is at some distance, where you can take in the full height and form of the tower.
The structure ceased its active lighting operations in 2007 but maintains its status as a recognized maritime landmark under Admiralty number C4530.
