In 1882 the first lighthouse was lit.
This was placed on top of a keepers house made of wood.
The lantern came from the deactivated lighthouse on Korsö.
The light was a kerosene lamp.
In 1931 the now standing tower was built and both the lantern and keepers house removed.
The new tower first ran on acetylene gas, and later was electrified.
In 1992 solar power was installed to the lighthouse.
It is owned and remote-controlled by the Swedish Maritime Administration.
