The lighthouses of Finland are essential navigational aids located along the country's extensive coastline and numerous islands. With over 180 lighthouses, they guide ships safely through the often treacherous waters of the Baltic Sea and the Gulf of Finland. Many of these lighthouses are historic structures, some dating back to the 18th century, showcasing unique architectural styles. Several notable lighthouses, such as Hanko Lighthouse and Kylmäpihlaja Lighthouse, attract visitors for their scenic views and rich maritime history. These lighthouses not only serve a practical purpose but also symbolize Finland's strong connection to the sea and its maritime heritage.
