Also known as: Suomenlinna (Sveaborg) (Harmaja Range Rear)
The Suomenlinna lighthouse is a stone cylindrical tower built in 1929, standing 27 meters tall. The light is mounted atop the dome of a square stone church, which is centered on a square stone church. This structure guides vessels in the Gulf of Finland toward Helsinki harbor. Its geographic range is 19.3 nautical miles, emitting a white light with one flash every 15 seconds. The lighthouse is situated 1.7 kilometers from Helsinki, the nearest port.
Why it matters: This lighthouse is important for navigating the shipping lanes to and from Helsinki's harbor, especially around the Suomenlinna fortress archipelago. Its unique design atop a church dome makes it an architectural feature of the World Heritage site.
