Simrishamn Lighthouse
Location & Light Range
About Simrishamn Lighthouse
A white, cylindrical concrete tower, 16 meters tall, stands on the south quay of Simrishamn. It was built in 1959 and first lit in 1883. The lighthouse emits a white, red, or green light every 6 seconds, guiding vessels. The structure features a lantern and gallery. The site is accessible to the public, though the tower is closed.
Why it matters: This lighthouse is essential for vessels entering and departing Simrishamn harbor, offering directional guidance with its sector light. The potential reuse of the original 1883 lantern atop the 1959 tower provides a connection to maritime history.
