Iconic Lighthouses of Gotland

Gotland’s maritime history is defined by its strategic Baltic location, marked by these historic beacons. This collection features 19th-century structures ranging from the southern tip at Hoburg to the northern reaches of Fårö. Highlights include the high-altitude station on Stora Karlsö, the striped tower of När on its distinct peninsula, and the long-standing maritime sentinels at Faludden and Östergarnsholm. These lighthouses illustrate the evolution of Swedish navigational technology from the mid-1800s to the present day.
