Lyökin pooki

The stone structure rises 16.5 meters high with thick walls of 2.5 meters and features red and white checkered patterns on its exterior surfaces.

Built in 1757 under merchant Kristian Trapp's initiative, this structure served as a crucial navigation aid at the intersection of maritime routes to Sweden.

The Finnish Heritage Agency recognizes this daymark and its pilot station as elements of national significance within Finland's built environment heritage.

The interior contains a narrow staircase with four landings, though the substantial wall thickness prevents the existence of actual rooms inside.

The structure remains the oldest preserved daymark in Finland, maintaining its original form from the period of Swedish governance.
