Glosholm Lighthouse (original) (raw)

The Glosholm Lighthouse (later Glosholm daymark) was a lighthouse on a southern tip of the Glosholm Island in the Pellinge archipelago in the Gulf of Finland, outside of Porvoo. With increasing sea traffic in the area, the lighthouse was constructed during the years 1832–1835. It served from 1835 to 1863, when it was replaced by the Söderskär Lighthouse. The structure served as a daymark until 1940, when it was blown up.
