Väderöbod lighthouse, Concrete lighthouse in Tanums kommun, Sweden.

The cylindrical tower stands 19 meters high near the Skagerrak waters, featuring a balcony, lantern room, and orange exterior with black middle section.

The current structure, built in 1964, replaced the original 1867 lighthouse, marking a shift from manual operation to automated navigation systems.

The preserved lantern and lens from the original lighthouse remain on display at Nestorsgården in Fjällbacka, preserving maritime heritage.

Access to the lighthouse requires boat transportation, with visitors needing to check weather conditions and marine schedules before planning their journey.

The lighthouse operates on solar power since 2000, utilizing a 6-watt LED light system that maintains navigational guidance for vessels in Swedish waters.
