First lit in 1901, this lighthouse is situated on a promontory at the eastern entrance to the Raftsund, southwest of Digermulen. The structure is a 4-meter octagonal lantern, painted white with a red roof, mounted on a short stone base. It emits an occulting white, red, and green light on a 6-second cycle. The focal height reaches 23.5 meters, with a geographic range of 13.9 nautical miles. This station is located in the Nordland region of Norway, near the city of Vågan and approximately 7.7 kilometers from the nearest port, Fiskebol.
Why it matters: The Raftsund serves as the most-used inside passage through the Lofoten Islands for ferries and cruise ships. This lighthouse's directional light system is indispensable for guiding vessels safely through the entrance to this narrow, heavily utilized passage.
