About Dørvær Lighthouse
Established in 1903, the Dørvær lighthouse is a square, 6-meter tall pyramidal tower topped with a red lantern roof. Its light emits white, red, and green flashes in a 5-second cycle, changing color to indicate different navigational directions. Situated on an island roughly 4 kilometers south of Selvær, its focal height is 10 meters above sea level. The lighthouse has a geographic range of 10.4 nautical miles. While the station has been operational for over a century, the tower itself is closed to public access, though the site remains open.
Why it matters: The Dørvær lighthouse is important for safe passage through the waters south of Selvær, using its directional colored light to guide vessels through specific channels and away from hazards.
