Built in 1953, the Svingrund lighthouse is a 9.5-meter tall concrete tower located about 1 kilometer off the northeast coast of Gotland island. The cylindrical structure features an orange-red color with a black band at its base. Its light emits two white, red, or green flashes every 6 seconds, visible for nearly 11 nautical miles. The lighthouse stands at the northern entrance to Fårösund, marking this important passage. The site is open to visitors, though the tower itself is closed to the public.
Why it matters: Svingrund lighthouse is essential for safe navigation at the northern entrance to Fårösund, guiding vessels through this narrow and challenging channel.
