About Stockholm City Lighthouses and Lightships Lighthouse
The Kaknästornet, a square concrete communications tower, was finished in 1967 in the Kaknäs area east of Stockholm. It reaches a height of 155 meters, with its light positioned at 172 meters. It displays a quick white (Q W) flashing light visible for 31.5 nautical miles. The structure primarily handles telecommunications but also functions as a navigational marker. A restaurant operated within the tower until 2018 when it ceased operations because of safety and security issues.
Why it matters: Included on the Admiralty list as C6548, this telecommunications tower also provides a maritime reference point near Stockholm's port, located 1.6 km away.
