About Taksensand Lighthouse
The Taksensand Lighthouse, built in 1953, stands as a 19-meter cylindrical stone tower on a rubblestone pier. It is situated on a beach approximately 1 kilometer west-northwest of Fynshav, a ferry terminal. Access to the lighthouse base is often by a footbridge from a low bluff, as the site is frequently surrounded by water. The structure displays two white flashes and changes color every 12 seconds, with white, red, and green sectors indicating different navigational courses. The original tower, constructed before 1953, was damaged during World War II and subsequently replaced.
Why it matters: This lighthouse is important for maritime traffic navigating waters around Fynshav, providing guidance to ferries approaching the terminal for Fyn. Its light sectors offer precise directions, assisting vessels in safe passage.
