About Austboen Lighthouse
This concrete lighthouse stands 5 meters tall on the foundation pad of the east pier of the Boknasundet Bridge, connecting Vestre Bokn and Austre Bokn on the E-39 highway. Painted white, it features a lantern and gallery with a red roof. The structure emits an occulting light, showing two white flashes, or red or green flashes, every 8 seconds. Its geographic range extends to 8.9 nautical miles. The site is accessible to the public, though the tower itself is closed to visitors. It is located northwest of Stavanger in the Rogaland region.
Why it matters: The lighthouse is essential for safe passage through Boknasundet, guiding vessels navigating under the Boknasundet Bridge and maintaining the correct channel between the islands.
