About Kyrkhälludden Lighthouse
A round, cylindrical concrete tower stands 7.5 meters tall at Kyrkhälludden, with its lantern and gallery painted white and a red horizontal band positioned below the gallery. The focal height of the light is 8 meters. This lighthouse was built in 1968 and first lit the same year, replacing an earlier station established in 1890. The original lighthouse's foundation is still visible near the current structure. Its light emits a three-second cycle of white, red, or green flashes, with a geographic range of 9.7 nautical miles. Kyrkhälludden is located on a promontory about 12 kilometers southeast of Nordmaling in Västerbotten County, Sweden.
Why it matters: The lighthouse's directional sector light, changing color to warn of specific zones, provides precise guidance for vessels navigating southeast of Nordmaling. The visible foundation of its predecessor underscores the continuous need for a navigational aid at this specific promontory.
