About Sandögrundet Lighthouse
The Sandögrundet lighthouse, constructed in 1898, is a 6-meter tall, square concrete pier. It supports a square equipment shelter, which is topped with a white lantern. This structure is positioned on a shoal within Luleå harbor, Sweden. Its light characteristic is an occulting white or red flash every 4 seconds, depending on the viewing direction. The site can be visited, but public access to the tower is restricted. It is situated 1.1 km from Lulea, the nearest port.
Why it matters: The lighthouse's white and red occulting light serves as a navigation aid for vessels entering the Luleå port, marking a submerged hazard and supporting maritime traffic.
