The lighthouse Faluddens fyr was built in 1867 as a decagonal cast iron tower and is painted white. The lighthouse between Hoburgen and Östergarnsholm was considered necessary because there had been several shipping accidents in the area. It is located in the restricted military area and cannot be visited.

The Swedish Maritime Administration ( Swedish Sjöfartsverket ) put the lighthouse out of service in April 2009. The lighthouse has been in operation again since April 5, 2018.
