About Visby Lighthouse
Also known as: Visby (South Breakwater)
This concrete tower, built in 1982, replaced an earlier station established in 1867. It stands 8.5 meters tall at the end of Visby's south breakwater, with its light visible from 10.7 nautical miles. The lighthouse displays an occulting white, red, and green light that changes color every 4 seconds, indicating specific approach directions. Its cylindrical structure is painted white with a green horizontal band, topped by a lantern and gallery. This structure serves as a visual guide for vessels entering the harbor of Visby, the capital of Gotland.
Why it matters: The lighthouse is essential for navigating into Visby harbor, the primary port for Gotland, guiding ferries and cargo ships with its directional light system.
