Falsterbo Lighthouse

Here is Sweden's oldest lighthouse dating back to the 1230s when the Danish king Valdemar Sejr sent a letter of privilege, including the text "Love of all merchants, that you make a clear mark in Falsterbo, to avoid danger to the sailors" . 1635 built a vippefyr, a construction with a metal basket that was fired with coal. The basket is lifted up and down with a lever up to six times per hour to be filled with coal.

Today's lighthouse was ready in 1795. Until 1843 the "signal" was burned with coal, after which the tower was equipped with lenses that were illuminated with oil. In 1936, it became electric, 1972 it was automated and in 1990 the lighthouse was shut down. Today, the lighthouse keeper's residence is a museum
