Söderarm lighthouse, Maritime lighthouse on Torskär island, Sweden

The cylindrical granite tower of Söderarm lighthouse rises 21 meters from its position in the Stockholm archipelago on the western Sea of Åland.

Built in 1839, the lighthouse initially operated on colza oil with mirrors until 1882, when kerosene lamps replaced the original lighting system.

The Swedish government designated the lighthouse as a protected heritage site in 1935, recognizing its role in maritime navigation and architectural merit.

Visitors can stay overnight in the former keeper's house while exploring the surrounding islands and observing local wildlife including seals and sea eagles.

The lighthouse maintained manual operations until 1997, marking the end of a 158-year period of continuous human presence at the station.
