About Djursholmsudde Lighthouse
Built in 1950, the Djursholmsudde lighthouse is a 5-meter-high cylindrical tower painted white, topped with a lantern. It is situated on the southeastern tip of a promontory that extends into the Stora Värtan sound. The lighthouse emits four flashes of white, red, or green light every 12 seconds, with a geographic range of 8.4 nautical miles. Its focal height is also 5 meters. The site is open to the public, though the tower itself remains closed. The nearest port is Loudden, 4.1 kilometers away.
Why it matters: This lighthouse is important for guiding maritime traffic in the Stora Värtan sound. Its directional light, which changes color, offers precise navigation for vessels approaching this section of the Stockholm archipelago.
