Spårö daybeacon, Maritime navigation beacon in Västervik Municipality, Sweden.
Spårö daybeacon is a stone navigation tower in Västervik Municipality that rises about 25 meters and guides vessels through Swedish coastal waters. Its distinctive shape and size make it easy to spot from a distance when ships need to know where they are.
The structure was built in 1776 based on a design by architect Carl Fredrik Adelcrantz and created a lasting navigation reference for ships in the region. This tower has served as a reliable guide for more than 2 centuries.
The daybeacon represents Swedish maritime engineering excellence and continues to function as a vital part of coastal navigation infrastructure.
The tower is easily visible from the water and serves boat captains as a visual guide in coastal areas. It is best viewed from a boat to fully appreciate how it helps ships navigate these waters.
Maintenance work is timed to avoid the nesting season of birds that live near the beacon. This careful scheduling shows how the upkeep of this structure respects the wildlife in the surrounding waters.
