Landsort is a Swedish village and a lighthouse on the island of Öja. The tower was built in 1689 with an upper conical iron section added in 1870. Open fires have been lit here since a long time ago.The first real lighthouse was lit in 1651 and until the now-standing tower was built a couple of different buildings were used as the lighthouse. The 1689 tower was constructed to carry an open fire which ran on coal. In 1840 a colza oil lamp was installed.
