Oxelösund in three videos: industrial growth, the Femöre lighthouse and the archipelago

Three verified films move from Oxelösund's postwar townscape to Femöre's lighthouse keeper's house and a sailing trip in the archipelago.

Visit Oxelösund’s archival series labels this episode as part three of a film about the town’s development from 1958 to 1968. Its published description credits photographs to Per-Åke Lundell and editing to Bo Bjelvenstam. This is the broadest historical view in the selection: a decade in which the industrial town was changing quickly. It complements a walk through Gamla Oxelösund, where the older maritime landscape can still be read on foot.

Visit Oxelösund’s short film focuses on the lighthouse keeper’s house in the Femöre nature reserve. Its published description notes that the red-and-white buildings stand at Femörehuvud facing open water, and that the first kerosene lighthouse there was lit in 1867. The clip is a concise introduction to the coastal setting and its lighthouse history. It does not provide current access or opening times, so check official visitor information before planning an interior visit.

Lena and Mikael Wingren describe a summer 2020 sailing outing with Perry Gustafsson, leaving Oxelösund in a fresh northerly wind and crossing toward Örspaken. That makes this the most immediate view of the wider archipelago in the trio, while still being a record of one dated trip rather than a current route offer. It gives context for the town’s seafaring identity; visitors should check present boat excursions, weather and access separately.
