About Kriisi Beacon Lighthouse
Also known as: Kriisi Beacon (Kriisi)
The Kriisi Beacon, built in 1874, is a square pyramidal skeletal tower standing 8 meters tall. Its focal height reaches 13 meters, and it emits a white flash every 6 seconds. The tower displays red on two sides and white on the other two. The upper half of the square structure is enclosed by a slatted daymark. This beacon has a geographic range of 11.3 nautical miles. The site is open to the public, but the tower is closed.
Why it matters: This beacon is essential for navigating the complex Finnish archipelago, providing critical guidance through its numerous islands and potential hazards. Its continuous operation since 1874 underscores its enduring value to regional shipping and local maritime activities.
