Sweden's highest lighthouse stands at the very tip of Kullaberg, where the Kattegat meets the Øresund.
Kullen Lighthouse offers a breathtaking view and a dramatic history. More than 200 ships have been wrecked off the point since the 1750s, and several wrecks still lie on the seabed.
We tell stories of the fates and adventures of the people who lived here, with wreck plundering, salvage crews, tragedies and heroic deeds. Kullen Lighthouse is also one of the best places in Sweden to spot harbour porpoises.
