This reinforced concrete lighthouse stands 15.7 metres tall on Huvudskär in the southern Stockholm archipelago, within Haninge Municipality, Sweden. Completed in 1931, it functions as an approach lighthouse, guiding vessels through the complex waters of the archipelago. Built during the interwar period when reinforced concrete was becoming the material of choice for modern maritime structures, Huvudskär represents the technological and constructional practices of early twentieth-century Scandinavian lighthouse design.
