Utklippan lighthouse, Maritime navigation structure on Utklippan archipelago, Sweden.

The red conical skeletal tower with central cylinder rises 30 meters above the Baltic Sea, featuring a grey lantern dome atop a white fortress.

The first lighthouse on Utklippan began operations in 1789, while the current structure from 1870 replaced an earlier tower built in 1840.

The lighthouse represents the maritime heritage of Sweden's southern coast, marking the entrance to naval city Karlskrona through dangerous waters.

Visitors need to arrange boat transportation to reach the lighthouse, as it stands on an isolated island group consisting of Södraskär and Norraskär.

The site includes a birding research station that monitors migrating species during spring and autumn seasons across the Baltic Sea route.
