Lighthouses of Sweden: Eastern and Southern Skåne (Scania)

The Kingdom of Sweden (Sverige in Swedish) is the largest country of northern Europe, occupying the entire west coast of the Baltic Sea. Along with its lengthy coast Sweden has a distinguished lighthouse history and a good record of preserving its historic lights. The Swedish Lighthouse Society (Svenska Fyrsällskapet) works actively for the preservation of the lighthouses.

Sweden is divided into 21 counties (län) and the counties are subdivided into townships and municipalities (kommuner). This page covers lighthouses of the eastern an southern coasts of the Swedish county of Scania (Skåne Län), the southernmost county of Sweden. These coasts fhe southernmost basin of the Baltic Sea.

The Swedish word for a lighthouse is fyr. The front light of a range is the nedrefyr (lower light) and the rear light is the övrefyr (upper light). Ö is an island, holme is an islet, skär is a skerry (a tiny island or rocky reef), sund is a strait (often between an island and the mainland), vik is a bay, hav is a sea, udde is a headland, and hamn is a harbor.

Aids to navigation in Sweden are maintained by the Swedish Maritime Administration (Sjöfartsverket).

ARLHS numbers are from the ARLHS World List of Lights. SV numbers are from the Sjöfarsverket light list (Svenska Fyrlista) as reported by the Swedish Lighthouse Society. Admiralty numbers are from volume C of the Admiralty List of Lights & Fog Signals. U.S. NGA List numbers are from Publication 116.

It became obsolete after World War II when new breakwaters extended the harbor considerably. The lighthouse was removed in October 2007 and placed in storage. The local maritime museum (Trelleborgs Sjöfartsmuseum) sought to acquire the lighthouse and display it outside the museum. However, in July 2010 the lighthouse was moved back to the waterfront at the end of a pier on the east side of the harbor, a location comparable to its original position.

Lights have been displayed here in various ways since at least the 1220s, and a vippfyr (basket light) was maintained starting in 1635. Since 1973 the offshore Falsterborev lighthouse has been the key light for vessels rounding the southern tip of Sweden, so the lighthouse was deactivated in 1990. It was restored in 1993 by the Vellinge City Council after many requests from the public. Since 1909 the surrounding area has been the Falsterbo Golfklubb, one of the best known golf courses in Sweden, with the lighthouse standing beside the 15th tee. Located at the southwestern tip of the Falsterbo peninsula. Site open; tower open to guided tours by prior arrangement with the attendent. . ARLHS SWE-008; SV-6648; Admiralty C2416; NGA 5556.

Flintrännan (Flint Channel) Lighthouses

The Flint Channel is a dredged channel through the narrow passage of the Öresund between Malmö and the Danish island of Saltholm. Historically this important channel (the main entrance to the Baltic Sea) was marked by lightships. Wikimedia has a historic photo of one of them, the Kalkgrundet. During the 1960s the lightships were replaced by four caisson lighthouses: Kalkgrundet, Oscarsgrundet Nordost, Flinten Sydväst, and Oscarsgrundet Sydväst. However, the construction of the Öresund Bridge-Tunnel in 1995-99 required that a new channel be dredged. The new channel is marked by a series of cylindrical lighthouses, including the original caisson towers at new locations, plus about a dozen buoys and lightfloats. SFA has a page on the channel's history and Hartmann has a page with photos of the lighthouses.
