Smygehuk lighthouse

Smygehuk lighthouse, Historic lighthouse in Smygehuk, Sweden.

Smygehuk Lighthouse is a 17-metre cylindrical tower of cast iron, painted white with a grey metallic lantern, standing about 1.5 km west of Smygehamn near Sweden's southernmost tip. Its focal height is 19.6 metres. The site also holds a plastered keeper's house, a wooden building and, east of the tower, an old equipment housing and rain gauge.

Built in 1883 from cast iron, this lighthouse served as a crucial navigation aid for over ninety years before being decommissioned in 1975 and relit in 2001.

The lighthouse is a listed site in Sweden's national heritage register. Its first keeper, Elis Andersson, lived in the plastered house, while his lookout and assistant used the wooden house, which became a hostel in 1985. The site also served as a weather station until its last report in April 1984.

The wooden house that once held the keeper's lookout and assistant became a hostel in 1985, described as Sweden's southernmost tourist accommodation. The lighthouse stands about 1.5 km west of Smygehamn, near the southern tip of the Scandinavian Peninsula. East of the tower, look for the old equipment housing and rain gauge left from the weather station that made its last report in April 1984.

The keeper's wooden house became a hostel in 1985, Sweden's southernmost tourist accommodation. East of the tower, an old instrument housing and a rain gauge remain from the years when the site also served as a weather station, which filed its last report in April 1984.
