For over 150 years, the Pater Noster lighthouse has guided sailors through Sweden’s most dangerous waters. It was built in 1868 on the island of Hamneskär by the renowned engineer Gustav von Heidenstam, the same man who developed the lighthouse system along Sweden’s coast. Today, the lighthouse is a unique tourist attraction in the Bohuslän archipelago off Sweden’s west coast.
