Faludden Lighthouse, Maritime navigation lighthouse in Gotland Municipality, Sweden.
The cast iron lighthouse stands 11.3 meters tall on the southern coast of Gotland, marking the entrance to Baltic Sea navigation routes.
Built in 1867 under architect Albert Theodor Gellerstedt's design, the lighthouse initially used rapeseed oil until transitioning to kerosene in 1885.
The structure represents Swedish maritime engineering traditions through its third order Fresnel lens and governmental listed building status.
Located within military grounds, visitors need to observe the lighthouse from designated viewpoints and follow security regulations regarding photography.
The lighthouse operated with three white light occultations every fifteen seconds until its automation in 1965 and temporary deactivation in 2009.
