For over 150 years, the Pater Noster lighthouse has guided sailors in Sweden's most dangerous waters. It was built in 1868 on the island of Hamneskär by the celebrated engineer Gustav von Heidenstam, the same man who developed lighthouse systems around the Swedish coast. Today, the lighthouse is a unique destination in the Bohuslän archipelago.
