The Light That Was Mistaken for Another
Vinga’s first lighthouse was Sweden’s first with a lighthouse lens and was lit on 15 November 1841. Its fixed light was, however, easily confused with other lighthouses in the Kattegat, a mix-up that could have fatal consequences. The lighthouse station was therefore later supplemented with another tower.
