About Bodø Lighthouse
Also known as: Bodø (Nyholmen)
Bodø Lighthouse was built in 1875 with an octagonal cylindrical cast iron tower that is attached to a stone keeper's house. The tower stands 5 meters tall, with the focal height at 12 meters. It emits nine quick white flashes every 10 seconds, visible for 11 nautical miles. This structure is located 0.6 kilometers from the nearest port in Bodo. The lighthouse is a 1-1/2 story stone dwelling, integrated with the cast iron tower.
Why it matters: The lighthouse marked safe channels for local fishing fleets and coastal traders navigating the waters around Bodø. Its design is a practical example of smaller Norwegian light stations, integrating the tower with the keeper's dwelling.
