About Tärngrund Lighthouse
Also known as: Tärngrund (Range Front)
The Tärngrund Lighthouse stands on a small skerry approximately 1.6 kilometers west of the Fagerholm lighthouse, near Killingholm. This square concrete tower, standing 6 meters tall, is equipped with a lantern and gallery. Its focal height is also 6 meters, and it emits a quick-flashing light in white, red, or green depending on the direction. The light has a geographic range of 8.9 nautical miles. The site is open to the public, but the tower remains closed. The nearest port is Nagu, located 8.6 kilometers away.
Why it matters: The lighthouse is essential for safe passage through the complex Finnish archipelago, warning vessels about the skerry it occupies and guiding them around the northwest corner of Killingholm. Its directional quick-flashing light, with sector colors, aids navigation in the intricate network of islands and submerged rocks.
