Hel (Mierzeja Helska, wzniesienie Góra Szwedów), powiat pucki, województwo pomorskie
A decommissioned lighthouse located within the administrative boundaries of the town of Hel, on the Hel Peninsula, at the top of the Góra Szwedów hill. It is a historic structure of the Polish coast's lighthouse heritage.
The lighthouse was built in 1936; it replaced the older lighthouse in Jastarnia-Bór and operated on the section between the lighthouses in Jastarnia and Hel. It was fully automated, with an electric light and no permanent staff, which is why it frequently broke down (especially in winter). It served its function until 1990, when it was switched off, partly due to the development of satellite navigation and the closure of the surrounding military zone.
The structure has no tourist access to the interior; it is located on a hill on the Hel Peninsula.
Within the town of Hel, in the area of the former military grounds of the Hel Peninsula. Access on foot via trails near the Hel Coastal Defence Museum.
