About Leskär Lighthouse
The Leskär lighthouse is a concrete tower built in 1910, standing 9.5 meters tall with its light at a focal height of 12 meters. It is painted white with a single red horizontal band beneath the gallery. The light emits a white, red, or green signal, characterized by an occulting white light with red and green sectors on a 3-second cycle, visible for 11 nautical miles. The station was first established in 1879, with the current structure erected in 1910. This lighthouse is situated on a skerry approximately 6 kilometers southeast of Piteå, Sweden. The site is open to the public, though the tower itself remains closed.
Why it matters: Leskär lighthouse is essential for safe passage into and out of Piteå, guiding ships through complex approach channels and warning them away from shallow areas.
