WELCOME!

As early as the 16th century the ”Torsö udde” was mentioned as the most
important fishing area in this taxation area.

A couple centuries later the fisherman Nils Pentzin settles on Hällgrund. The
Soklothällan and Hällgrund islands are separate, united by a bridge of stone.

The current daymark in red and white colours, which was built in 1824, likely
replaced an old, disrepaired daymark from the late 17th century.

From the early 1770s the Soklothällan also functioned as a pilot station. In
general, the pilots were local men and the piloting formally ended in 1954.
However, commercial fishing continues on the island to this day.
