Tjärven lighthouse, Maritime lighthouse in Norrtälje Municipality, Sweden
The cylindrical concrete tower rises 13 meters above the Baltic Sea, featuring a balcony, lantern room, and characteristic white paint with a grey base.
The lighthouse construction began in 1902, replacing a day beacon that guided ships through these waters since the 19th century.
The structure represents the evolution of Swedish maritime navigation technology, from its initial kerosene operation to modern solar-powered systems.
The lighthouse emits a white light signal visible up to 17.5 nautical miles, marking the entry points to shipping routes for Kapellskär, Norrtälje, and Stockholm ports.
The surrounding waters contain unexploded Russian mines from World War I, making diving and anchoring activities near the lighthouse extremely dangerous.
