Tistlarna lighthouse, Maritime lighthouse in Gothenburg Municipality, Sweden

The Tistlarna lighthouse features white clinker brick construction and reaches a height of 10 meters near the Kattegat waters.

The lighthouse began operations in 1906, initially using kerosene as an energy source until its conversion to electricity in 1964.

The lighthouse stands as a testament to Swedish maritime traditions and continues to guide vessels through the western coastal waters.

The structure incorporates a second order Fresnel lens system and underwent automation in 1970 to enhance its operational capabilities.
