Väderöbod lighthouse

Väderöbod lighthouse, Concrete lighthouse in Tanums kommun, Sweden.

Väderöbod lighthouse is a 19-metre concrete tower on Väderöbod island in the Väderöarna archipelago, Tanums kommun. It is painted orange with a black middle section. The tower replaced the 1867 lattice lighthouse and stands on the island's rocky terrain, which rises to over 20 metres in the southwest.

The current tower was built in 1964, replacing an earlier lighthouse from 1867 that stood on the same location. This reconstruction reflected the advancement of maritime navigation and the shift toward automated guidance systems.

The lantern and lens of the 1867 lattice tower were saved when the tower was blasted off the rock and scrapped in 1970. They are kept by the local heritage association at Nestorsgården in Fjällbacka. The association has maintained the lighthouse buildings on Väderöbod since 1979.

The lighthouse sits on an island and is only accessible by boat, so visitors should check weather conditions and boat schedules in advance. Good planning ensures a safe and feasible trip to the site.

The beacon has operated on solar power since 2000, using a 6-watt LED light system that requires minimal maintenance. This sustainable design allows the structure to function independently while guiding ships in these waters.
