About Fjärdgrund Lighthouse
Also known as: Fjärdgrund (Holmsund)
The Fjärdgrund Lighthouse, built in 1907, is a 21-meter tall, round cylindrical concrete tower. It stands on a small island about 1.7 kilometers from Holmsund. The structure's focal plane is 18 meters above sea level. Its exterior is painted white, distinguished by a single red horizontal band positioned below the gallery. The light characteristic is two white flashes every 12 seconds, with a visibility range of 12.7 nautical miles. The site is accessible to the public, but the tower is not open for entry.
Why it matters: This lighthouse marks the entrance to the Holmsund port, offering navigation aid for vessels including ferries in this active shipping region.
