About this place
Góra Szwedów Lighthouse is a deactivated lighthouse on the Baltic Sea coast in the town of Hel, in Puck County, Pomeranian Voivodeship, Poland. It stands on the Hel Peninsula, on Góra Szwedów, a hill rising 19 metres (62 ft), between the Jastarnia Lighthouse and the Hel Lighthouse. Today, it offers a short stop for sightseeing and a look at the peninsula’s lighthouse landscape.
- The site marks the former position of a lighthouse that was deactivated in 1990.
- It sits on Góra Szwedów, giving the place a slightly elevated setting on the Hel Peninsula.
- Its location between the Jastarnia Lighthouse and the Hel Lighthouse makes it easy to connect with a broader lighthouse-themed walk along the coast.
For a visit here, comfortable shoes are a good idea, especially if you want to combine it with a walk around the peninsula. It is best suited to travelers interested in coastal history, lighthouse routes, and a quiet sightseeing stop rather than an active lighthouse tour.
