Svartklubben lighthouse, Maritime lighthouse in Norrtälje Municipality, Sweden.

The cylindrical stone tower rises 12 meters above the small island east of Singö, featuring a white exterior with a black horizontal band.

The lighthouse began operations in 1819, transitioning from coal fire illumination to colza oil in 1842 and subsequently to kerosene in 1875.

The Swedish Maritime Administration maintains this navigational structure, which received official recognition as a listed building in January 1935.

With a focal height of 19.5 meters, the automated lighthouse emits white, red, and green flashing signals visible up to 16 nautical miles.

The fourth-order Fresnel lens installation in 1897 marked a significant technological advancement for maritime navigation in the Åland Sea region.
