Flötjan
Flötjan is a small rocky islet in Finland. It is located in the Åland Sea to the southwest of Lågskär. Depths near Flötjan measure approximately 180 metres (590 ft).

Lighthouse

The original light was badly damaged during World War II. A concrete lighthouse tower was built in 1953 and automated in 1959. The light range is 28 kilometres (17 mi). The Stockholm-Mariehamn-Tallinn ferry passes just to the west of the island.
