Rödkallen

Far out to sea, on the outer lilmits of the archipelago, lies Rödkallen, the last outpost facing Finland. The island is the site of an old pilot station and a fishing harbour.In 1872, a Heidenstam-type lighthouse was built. The 21,4-metre tall lighthouse was designed by engineer Gustav von Heidenstam. In 1972, the lighthouse was taken out of service after exactly 100 years of use and is today classed a historical monument. The Heidenstam lighthouse on Rödkallen is one of the few remaining of its type in Sweden. On Rödkallen there is also a beautiful chapel and a big labyrinth,
