About Trädskär Övre Lighthouse
Constructed in 1940, Trädskär Övre is a concrete lighthouse situated on a small island east of Källvik, Sweden. This cylindrical tower, standing 6 meters tall with its lantern and gallery mounted on a concrete pier, reaches a focal height of 7 meters. It emits an occulting white, red, and green light that changes color every 2 seconds, indicating directional sectors. The lighthouse is located 550 meters east of its front light, serving as part of a navigational range. Access to the site is by boat, and while the grounds are open, the tower itself is closed to the public.
Why it matters: This lighthouse functions as a rear range light, working in tandem with its front counterpart to guide vessels through a specific channel in the complex waters east of Källvik. Its directional light system provides precise guidance, demarcating safe passage and warning of navigational hazards.
