The Helsinki Lighthouse, also called Helsingin kasuuni, is a reinforced concrete caisson-type lighthouse in the Gulf of Finland, 22 kilometres south of West Harbour, Helsinki. Built at the Suomenlinna shipyard from May 1958, it was towed out and sunk onto the seabed at 13 metres depth that August, and officially commissioned in September 1959. Its eight-storey tower rises 27.5 metres and is automated, run from a control room on the Harmaja islet.
