Spårö daybeacon

The stone daybeacon reaches a height of 25.4 meters and serves as a fixed navigational structure for vessels traveling through Swedish coastal waters.

Architect Carl Fredrik Adelcrantz designed this maritime guidance structure in 1776, establishing a permanent navigational reference point for ships in the region.

The daybeacon represents Swedish maritime engineering excellence and continues to function as a vital part of coastal navigation infrastructure.

Maritime vessels rely on the daybeacon's distinct shape and size to determine their position and navigate safely through the waters of Västervik.

Regular maintenance includes specific timing of paint applications to protect local bird populations during their nesting season near the structure.
