Rödkallen is a small uninhabited (summer cabins are in use) Swedish island and lighthouse station located in the Bothnian Bay in the south part of Luleå archipelago. The island was used by fishermen a long time before the lighthouse was built. In 1800 a chapel was built for the fishermen and it survives to this day. The lighthouse was constructed after Nils Gustaf von Heidenstam’s skeletal iron design. Originally it carried a colza oil lamp which was changed to a kerosene lamp 1884.
