Kullen Lighthouse is situated on the Kullaberg Peninsula at the highest point of elevation for any lighthouse in Sweden. Built in 1900, the current structure features a 28-meter tall stone tower that replaced a series of earlier coal and oil-fired beacons dating back to the 16th century. It operates as an active lighthouse guiding ships through the narrow entrance to the Öresund strait. The site is a primary location for harbor porpoise spotting due to deep waters and strong currents near the cliffs. Visitors have access to a museum exhibition detailing the history of seafaring and lighthouse technology. The onsite café serves refreshments with views of the Kattegat Sea. Hiking trails surround the lighthouse, leading through the Kullaberg Nature Reserve. The structure remains a symbol of the Mölle coastal region.
