Tower & Structure
Structure: Nakkholmsteinen light guides mariners navigating the waters west of Nakkholmen island, marking a submerged shoal that poses a hazard to vessels. Its exact origins are lost to time, with the initial structure's construction date remaining unknown. Originally, a modest 6-meter lantern was mounted atop a sturdy round stone pier, serving as a vital aid to navigation. Over the years, this original structure was replaced, and today, the light emanates from a mast, continuing its essential role in maritime safety. Situated approximately 400 meters west of Nakkholmen, the light's location on the shoal means it is only reachable by boat, offering a sense of remoteness. While the site itself is open for those who make the journey, the current light structure, being a mast, does not offer public access. It remains an active and functional navigational aid, quietly performing its duty in the local seascape.
