This page shows the documentation of the Lighthouses of Southeastern Sweden.  You can always click on the photo of the light to go to a specific (larger resolution) copy.  Each lighthouse name is linked to (in our editorial opinion) the best reference site for that light.

I would like to include directions on how to get to these lights.  If you know such data, could you eMail me and I'll post it here (with your choice of attribution.)

This list was built based on the list maintained by the Amateur Radio Lighthouse Society. [w8]  My thanks to them for providing this basis for understanding.
