About Rihtniemi Range Front Lighthouse
This red square skeletal tower, standing 14 meters tall, is located on a reef approximately 1.2 kilometers northwest of its paired rear light. It carries a large rectangular daymark that is red with a yellow vertical stripe. The light emits a white occulting signal that is visible for 11.6 nautical miles. The steel tower, with its focal height at 14 meters, functions as a navigational aid for vessels approaching Rauma. While the site is open to the public, the tower itself is closed.
Why it matters: This light is part of the outer approach range for Rauma, serving to guide ships safely into the port and warning of the reef it stands upon.
