About Höllviken Lighthouse
This concrete lighthouse, built in 1964, stands 10 meters tall with its focal plane at 9 meters. Its cylindrical structure features a white lantern and upper section, contrasting with a green lower half. The light emits two white, red, or green flashes every 6 seconds, visible for 10 nautical miles. It is situated about 3 km west of the artificial harbor of Höllviken, south of Malmö in Skåne County. While the site is accessible by boat, the tower itself is closed to the public.
Why it matters: This navigational aid is essential for traffic in the Öresund, a busy waterway between Sweden and Denmark, providing directional guidance to avoid hazards.
