Utö lighthouse
The Utö Lighthouse is located on the island of Utö, in Väståboland municipality, Finland. The 24 metres (79 ft) high tower is situated on the island's summit.[1] After the original round lighthouse (Finland's first lighthouse) was destroyed during the Russo-Swedish Wars of 1808-09, the present structure was constructed in 1814, with the present lens installed in 1906.[2]
