Svartklubbens lighthouse stands on the barren skerry of Svartklubben east of Singö, at the entrance to the Åland Sea. It is a state-protected historical monument and one of Roslagen's northernmost lighthouse locations.
Navigation aid at the Åland Sea
Svartklubben lighthouse rises on the windswept skerry Svartklubben just east of Singö, where Roslagen's archipelago meets the Åland Sea. For a long time, the lighthouse station guided shipping through the exposed waters toward Öregrund and Gävle Bay, and was staffed by lighthouse keepers before it was automated. Today the lighthouse is protected as a state monument.
Visiting Svartklubben
The skerry is reached by private boat and is a popular destination for swimming, fishing and birdwatching in the outer archipelago. The barren rocky landscape and the open sea location give a strong sense of Roslagen's outermost edge.
