Vejrø Lighthouse
Location & Light Range
About Vejrø Lighthouse
A cylindrical masonry tower, standing 16 meters tall, was built on the northeast point of Vejrø island in 1846. The lighthouse rises from the angle of an attached L-shaped keeper's house. Its focal plane reaches 19 meters above sea level. The structure exhibits a white exterior and emits a single white, red, or green flash every 5 seconds, with its geographic range extending to 12.9 nautical miles. The site is open to visitors, though the tower itself remains closed to the public. The nearest port is Fejo, located 6.2 kilometers away.
Why it matters: This lighthouse is essential for navigating the Smålands Farvandet, a shallow sound between Lolland and Sjælland, warning vessels of the island's northeast point and guiding them through complex waterways. Its integration with the keeper's house creates a distinctive architectural form.
