The lighthouse at Blockhusudden lies just off the coast and was installed in 1905. It became an AGA lighthouse in 1912 after Gustaf Dalén’s invention, a sun valve, was installed. Gustaf Dalén was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1912 for his invention of the sun valve. He became completely blind after an accident in which acetylene gas exploded in his face. Dalén’s inventions; the Dalén flasher, the sun valve and the automatic mantle exchange, formed the foundation of the AGA company and its AGA lighthouses.
AGA lighthouses can function without maintenance for up to a year.
The sculpture of Gustav Fröding is located by Djurgårdsbron. The poet Fröding is gazing towards his last home, Villa Gröndal, where he was cared for in the beginning of the 1900s for his mental illness.
Fröding lived in the house together with this caretaker and partner, Signe Trotzig, until his death on 8th February 1911. In 1948 Villa Gröndal was bought by the industrialist Erland Waldenström, who renovated the building and saved it from decay. Villa Gröndal was originally the residence for one of the huntsmen who assisted with the royal hunts on Djurgården.
Around the statue and Villa Gröndal there is a abundance of bird life. The lawn is inhabited by geese, and during the night tawny owls can be heard.
