Glosholm lighthouse
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.
==Planning and building==
When the lighthouse was being planned for the area, there were conflicting views on its location. Gustaf Brodd, then head of the Finnish pilot and lighthouse administration, wanted the lighthouse to be built on Glosholm, but the head of the Russian lighthouse administration wanted a more southerly location on Söderskär. In 1826, Tsar Nicholas I ordered the lighthouse to be built on Glosholm.
The tower of the lighthouse was made of bricks, it was 16.3 metres high, and it was four storeys high and had a diameter of 8.9 metres. An octagonal lighting structures were placed on this structure. A house for the staff of four was also built at the same time. The light of the lighthouse was lit for the first time on 15 September 1835.
