About Gnäggen Lighthouse
This lighthouse, built in 1953, is a 14-meter cylindrical wooden tower situated on a rocky islet 4 km east of Ytternäsan. It features a lantern and gallery atop the tower, which is attached to a two-story keeper's house. The light emits a single white flash every 12 seconds, visible for 10.4 nautical miles. The operational lighthouse stands on a site open to the public, though the tower itself is not accessible. Its construction material, wood, is notable for a structure of this type. The nearest port is Lugnvik, 15.8 km away.
Why it matters: The lighthouse warns vessels of the rocky islet it marks, contributing to safe passage in the waters near Ytternäsan.
