Högby lighthouse, Coastal lighthouse in Löttorp, Sweden.

The lighthouse tower reaches 23 meters in height and features a white cylindrical structure with a lantern room at the summit.

Architect Carl Frænell designed this maritime navigation aid in 1898, marking the beginning of safer passage through the northern waters of Öland.

The structure holds governmental listed building status and represents Swedish maritime architecture from the late nineteenth century.

The lighthouse emits two long white flashes every twelve seconds, guiding vessels across a range of twelve nautical miles.

The lighthouse underwent a transformation from kerosene to electrical power in 1946, followed by full automation in 1967.
