About Gävle Entrance No. 2 Lighthouse
Also known as: Gävle Entrance No. 2 (H3)
This concrete lighthouse, built in 1931, stands 6 meters tall on a concrete pier extending from the water. Its design is a round cylindrical tower topped with a lantern, painted white with a black horizontal band near its base. The light emits an occulting green flash every 4 seconds, visible for 9.7 nautical miles. Located on the north side of the Gävle entrance channel, it is part of the navigational aids leading to the port of Gävle kommun. The site is accessible by boat, though the tower itself is closed to the public.
Why it matters: The lighthouse's specific placement is essential for guiding vessels through the narrow Gävle entrance channel, preventing groundings and ensuring safe passage into the port.
