Sandhammaren lighthouse, Maritime navigation tower in Ystad Municipality, Sweden.

The red tower with a greenish lantern dome rises 29.4 meters above the southern Swedish coast near Bornholm Sound.

The lighthouse began operations in 1862 with two identical towers to prevent confusion with Ertholmene, but one structure was relocated to Pite-Rönnskär in 1891.

Architects Albert Theodor Gellerstedt and Gustaf von Heidenstam designed this cast iron skeletal tower, which now holds governmental listed building status.

The automated lighthouse emits white flashes every 5 seconds and maintains visibility up to 22 nautical miles across the Baltic Sea.

The structure stands near Sweden's oldest rescue station, which saved over 500 people from shipwrecks between 1855 and 1945.
