About Søby Havn East Mole Lighthouse
Established in 1875, this octagonal wooden tower stands 6 meters tall at the end of Søby Havn's east mole. It features an octagonal wood tower with a lantern and emits an isophase white or red light on a 2-second cycle. The tower's white exterior was updated in 2007 with a narrow red horizontal band. The lighthouse is 6 meters tall with a focal height of 6 meters and has a geographic range of 8.9 nautical miles. While the tower is closed to visitors, the site is open to the public.
Why it matters: This lighthouse is essential for the safe navigation of ferries connecting Søby Havn with Fåborg and Mommark, guiding them precisely to the harbor entrance. Its distinctive sector light, changing color based on direction, provides critical real-time information to mariners about their position relative to the east mole.
