About Blockhusudden Lighthouse
Also known as: Blockhusudden (Djurgården)
The Blockhusudden lighthouse, established in 1905, is situated at the entrance to the Saltsjön, Stockholm's inner harbor, off the east end of Djurgården. It consists of a 7-meter round stone tower with a lantern and gallery, mounted on a stone pier. The focal height of the light is 6 meters, and it emits two white, red, or green flashes every 6 seconds, depending on the direction of approach. This system provides a geographic range of 8.9 nautical miles. The site is open to the public, though the tower itself is closed.
Why it matters: Blockhusudden is essential for guiding vessels into Stockholm's inner harbor, with its multi-colored light system marking safe channels.
