Eggegrund lighthouse, Sector light and lighthouse in Gävle Municipality, Sweden
The reinforced concrete structure of Eggegrund lighthouse reaches a height of 26 meters, providing essential navigation support for maritime traffic in Gävle Bay.
Constructed in 1933, Eggegrund lighthouse replaced its predecessor, the Eggegrund East lighthouse, which had been operating with a wooden structure since 1890.
The lighthouse represents the evolution of Swedish maritime navigation, serving as a crucial reference point for vessels traversing the south coast of Bothnia.
Ships benefit from the lighthouse's white and red light pattern that flashes four times every twelve seconds, offering guidance across a range of 14 nautical miles.
The structure incorporates a fourth order Fresnel lens installed in 1977, replacing the previous third order lens used for maritime signaling.
