Malören (Swedish: [ˈmɑ̂ːˌlœːrɛn], locally [maˈlœːɳ];[1] Finnish: Maluri) is an island in the Kalix archipelago of northern Sweden.

[2] Attracted by the herring, a fisherman came from Torneå and from Karlö in Ostrobothnia setting up two separate communities on the island with up to 200 people living there during the summer.

[2] Fishing became very productive during the second half of the 18th century when ten percent of the catch used to be donated to the priest in Torneå.

[2] As a result of the island's prosperity, in 1768, a chapel was established there on the orders of the magistrate of Torneå.

A somewhat smaller lighthouse was built in 1891 to save manpower; however, this newer tower was closed down in about 1910, and the older one was again placed in service, now with a gas-powered light; the keepers were withdrawn at the same time and pilots took over their maintenance.

The harbor can be accessed at its easterly breakwater in a calm sea by boats with a draft up to 2 metres (6 ft 7 in), although this can change due to the ongoing deposition of sediment on the seafloor.

The lie of the land is flat with a submarine gully recorded, extending approximately 20 kilometres (12 mi) in a northwesterly direction.

[9] As a result of the economic progress of the island due to fishing operations, a church was established here at the orders of the magistrate of Torneå town.

[10] It was erected in 1768 and was later given a shingled roof; this was a popular church style around Bothnian Bay at the time.

Mountain ash are taking root and there are plenty of sea peas, tufted vetch and fireweed.
