About Frihavn Sydmole Lighthouse
Frihavn Sydmole lighthouse is a 12-meter-high cylindrical stone tower with a lantern and gallery. It is situated at the end of a long breakwater extending from the north side of Trekroner island, near Copenhagen. This structure is mounted on an early 19th-century stone fort. The lighthouse emits a red light, with one flash every 3 seconds, and has a geographic range of 13.2 nautical miles. Although its operational service has ended, the site is open to the public, offering views of the surrounding harbor entrance, but the tower itself remains closed.
Why it matters: This lighthouse is significant for its unique integration with an early 19th-century stone fort, showcasing a blend of defensive and navigational architecture at the entrance to a major harbor.
