A Lighthouse of SwedenS

SW 211 Viskær
latitude 58° 29' 18.9" N
longitude 16° 59' 27.3" E

Deactivated in 1887, it was relocated in 1890 to Storkläppen, an island in Kalmar. However, that station was devastated by a storm in November of the same year. The tower survived, and in 1894 it was relocated a second time to Viskär. The house is now a private residence, and the owners have maintained the lighthouse in excellent condition. Located on an island about 2.5 km east of Arkösund. ARLHS # SWE-324
