Grönskär
Grönskär in the outer archipelago, east of Sandhamn. Visitors come here to experience the smooth barren cliffs that slope down into the sea, the beautiful nature, and most of all – the Queen of the Baltic Sea – The Grönskär Lighthouse.
The beautifully preserved stone tower was built in 1770 and is a memorial of the days of ships and navigation and sea safety with a green light at the top. What used to be the living quarters of the lighthouse keeper is now used for conferences with beautiful panoramic views of the horizon. The red kerosene shed houses an exhibition about the history of Grönskär.
