About St.-Jørgens Lighthouse
The St.-Jørgens lighthouse, built in 1949, is a square wooden tower standing 8 meters tall. Its structure consists of a square wood hut atop a square wood skeletal tower, with the light emitted from a square window. The tower is painted white with a single red horizontal band. It is situated on the Øreodden on the Svendborg waterfront, close to the Svendborg Municipality and approximately 0.9 km from the nearest port. The site is open to the public, but the tower itself is closed.
Why it matters: This lighthouse provides specific directional guidance with its light, which flashes two times every 6 seconds, displaying white, red, or green depending on the viewing angle, aiding navigation near the highway 9 bridge across the sound.
