About Søby Havn West Mole Lighthouse
The Søby Havn West Mole lighthouse, built in 2007, stands at the end of the west mole guiding vessels into Søby Havn. This octagonal wooden tower, painted white with a narrow green horizontal band, reaches a height of 6 meters. It displays a continuous green light from a focal height of 6 meters. The lighthouse was designed to visually complement the older lighthouse on the east mole. While the site is accessible, the tower itself is closed to the public. The structure's geographic range is 8.9 nautical miles.
Why it matters: This lighthouse is essential for the safe navigation of ferries connecting Søby with Fåborg and Mommark, directly impacting the island's transport links. Its design, specifically crafted to match the historic east mole lighthouse, provides a unique architectural symmetry at the harbor entrance.
