About Kummelskär Range Rear Lighthouse
This concrete, square tower stands 18 meters tall on an islet approximately 8 kilometers east of Hanko. It carries a triangular skeletal structure topped with a large rectangular daymark, painted red with a yellow vertical stripe. The operational light displays a white flash on an ecliptic 6-second cycle. Constructed of concrete, the tower rises to a focal height of 19 meters and has a navigational geographic range of 12.9 nautical miles. The site is open to visitors, though the tower itself is closed to the public.
Why it matters: The Kummelskär Range Rear light guides vessels on a northeastward range east of Hanko, aiding navigation through the complex Finnish archipelago. Its distinct daymark assists daytime passage in this potentially hazardous shipping lane.
