About Drøbak Tollboden Lighthouse
Also known as: Drøbak Tollboden (Customs House)
Built in 1868, this two-story wooden structure in Frogn, Norway, served as a customs house and lighthouse. Its light was housed in a dormer window on the second floor, guiding ships into Drøbak's traditional harbor. The building features a terra cotta tile roof and is painted gray. It ceased operations as a lighthouse in 1961. The University of Oslo acquired the property in 1962, and it now functions as a conference center.
Why it matters: The light guided vessels into Drøbak's traditional harbor, a key entry point for commerce and fishing.
