När lighthouse

The cylindrical lighthouse tower features a red exterior with three white horizontal bands and reaches a height of 16.3 meters above ground level.

Architects Gustaf Emil Höjer and Albert Theodor Gellerstedt designed this maritime structure in 1872, initially operating with a kerosene-powered third-order Fresnel lens system.

The Swedish Maritime Administration maintains this governmental listed building complex, which represents maritime navigation infrastructure from the late 19th century.

The light beam extends 16.5 nautical miles for white signals and 13.5 nautical miles for red signals across the Baltic Sea waters.

The lighthouse underwent technological evolution from kerosene to acetylene in 1936, followed by electrical conversion and automation in 1961.
