About Assens Lighthouse
This 4-meter round fiberglass tower, painted white with a single narrow red horizontal band, serves as a modern directional light. It is situated at the extremity of the breakwater mole that shelters Assens harbor. First lit in 1976, this structure replaced the former Assens range lights, providing updated navigational guidance. The light emits an occulting white, red, or green signal every 10 seconds, adapting its color to indicate the vessel's approach direction. Its focal height is 5 meters, with a geographic range of 8.4 nautical miles.
Why it matters: This lighthouse is essential for maritime traffic entering and leaving Assens harbor, offering precise directional guidance. Its adaptable signal colors enhance the safety and efficiency of vessels navigating this Danish waterway.
