About Lehtikari Lighthouse
Lehtikari lighthouse, a red cylindrical concrete tower, was built in 1949. Standing 7 meters tall with a focal height of 8 meters, it emitted a red light with a geographic range of 9.7 nautical miles. The lighthouse marked a small island north of Seskarö and south of Säivis. It operated until 2012, providing a navigational aid in the archipelago waters. The site is accessible to the public, though the tower itself remains closed.
Why it matters: The lighthouse was important for guiding local fishing boats and other maritime traffic through the complex island waters north of Seskarö and south of Säivis, helping mariners navigate channels and avoid hazards.
