About Gåsberget Lighthouse
The Gåsberget Lighthouse stands as a cylindrical concrete tower, 7 meters in height, located at the southern tip of Gåsgrund island. This island is situated about 2.5 kilometers offshore, west of Kristinestad in the Ostrobothnia region of Finland. The tower is painted white with a single red horizontal band and features a lantern and gallery. Its focal height reaches 30 meters, and it emits a white flash every 30 seconds, visible for a geographic range of 15.3 nautical miles. The site itself is open to visitors, offering views of the sea, though the tower remains closed to the public.
Why it matters: Historically, the Gåsberget light helped mariners navigate around Gåsgrund island, a feature that presented a navigational hazard on the Finnish coast.
