About Rättaren Lighthouse
A 5-meter round lantern and gallery, painted white, sits atop a short green concrete pedestal. This structure was built in 1981, replacing an earlier station established in 1885. The lighthouse is situated on a rock about 600 meters off the eastern shore of Vrångö island. It emits a directional white, red, and green flash every three seconds. The light is visible for 8.4 nautical miles.
Why it matters: Its directional light provides specific guidance to mariners navigating the waters near Vrångö island, marking a hazard or channel.
