About Borgvær Havn Lighthouse
This navigation aid was a square, white tower with a red roof, standing 5.5 meters tall with a focal height of 10 meters. It was situated on a platform supported by piles at the northeastern tip of Borgvær, an island off Vestvågøy in Norway. The light emitted was red, with a characteristic of a single red flash. Its geographic range was 10.4 nautical miles. The site remains open, though the tower itself has been inactive since 2020 and is likely removed.
Why it matters: This lighthouse was essential for local fishing vessels and small craft, guiding them safely into Borgvær harbor through the challenging coastal waters near Vestvågøy.
