About Ryssö Lighthouse
Also known as: Ryssö (Range Rear)
This red, cylindrical metal tower stands 17 meters tall and is located on Ryssö island, 490 meters west of its front light. It features a yellow vertical stripe on its exterior and a large rectangular daymark for daytime visibility. With a focal height of 32 meters, the light emits a single white flash every 6 seconds. The site is open to visitors, though the tower itself is closed to the public. Ryssö lighthouse is situated near Hanko, with the nearest port just 1.6 kilometers away.
Why it matters: As a range light, Ryssö works with its front counterpart to offer precise directional guidance for vessels navigating specific channels within the Finnish archipelago, helping to prevent groundings and collisions.
