About Östergarnsholm Västra Lighthouse
The Östergarnsholm Västra lighthouse is located at the extreme western tip of Östergarnsholm island in Gotland County, Sweden.

It features a focal height of 12 meters and emits two white flashes every 6 seconds, with red and green sectors also present. This light has a geographic range of 11 nautical miles. A light station was first established at this site in 1817, with the present aid to navigation replacing an earlier one. The lantern is not open to the public.
