About Hestehoved Lighthouse
Built in 1891, Hestehoved Lighthouse is a practical structure situated on Falster's easternmost point, marking the entry to Grønsund. The lighthouse consists of a one-story lantern house joined to a one-and-a-half-story keeper's house, both painted white with gray roofs. Its light emits two white, red, or green flashes every 6 seconds, with a geographic range of 11.6 nautical miles. This station is located approximately 3 km east of Moseby and 5.4 km from Stubbekobing.
Why it matters: The lighthouse's directional light is important for guiding vessels through the Grønsund, the sound separating Falster from Møn. Its integrated keeper's house and lantern design reflects a specific period of lighthouse construction.
