FamxplorLandsort Lighthouse
What to expect
Landsort is a Swedish village with a lighthouse on the island of Öja, located in the southernmost region of Stockholm's archipelago. The village has around 30 permanent residents and is home to the oldest Swedish-built lighthouse, which was constructed in 1689. The lighthouse has a long history, with open fires serving as beacons lit at the site since early times. The tower was designed to survive fires and has withstood attempts to destroy it, including a fire set by Russians in 1719. Today, the lighthouse is automated and owned by the Swedish Maritime Administration. Visitors can explore the island, which offers beautiful cliffs, a picturesque village, and a variety of outdoor activities such as bird watching, botany, and zoology. The island also has a marina, a youth hostel, and a chapel, making it a great destination for families and nature lovers

Landsort: boat trip to the Stockholm archipelago
Activities: We were fascinated by the lighthouse, which is Sweden's oldest. We took pictures of it from many angles, but the feeling of being there is unmatchable. "You must simply go there yourself."
Highlights: The lighthouse really caught my attention. "I could photograph this lighthouse from just about any angle...but still never convey the right feeling for those of you who see the pictures." ✨
Swedish lighthouses worth recommending
Activities: We visited Landsort and its stylish lighthouse. The lighthouse was completed in 1690, making it the oldest in Sweden. We may have gotten the most beautiful view from the top of Lotstornet
Highlights: The lighthouse is special because it was completed already in 1690 and is thus considered Sweden's oldest lighthouse. The kids loved the view from Lotstornet! The name 'Landsort' can create some confusion, as the island is actually called Öja ✨
