About Piteå Lighthouses Lighthouse
This concrete lighthouse, built in 1971, stands 29 meters tall in the Gulf of Bothnia. Its cylindrical tower, painted black with a single red horizontal band, features three galleries and a helipad. The light emits a white flash every 3 seconds, visible for over 15 nautical miles. The structure is located about 30 km south-southeast of Luleå and 40 km east-southeast of Piteå. The site is open to visitors, though the tower itself is closed.
Why it matters: The lighthouse is essential for safe navigation in the northern Gulf of Bothnia, guiding commercial shipping to and from the industrial ports of Luleå and Piteå.
