About Ersholmene Lighthouse
This cylindrical stone tower, standing 6 meters tall, is painted white with a red roof. It is situated on a skerry off the northeastern tip of Brottøya, near Hadsel, Norway. The lighthouse emits a light with a focal height of 10 meters. Its light characteristic is two occulting white, red, or green flashes every 8 seconds, depending on the viewing direction. The site is open to the public, but the tower itself is closed.
Why it matters: The lighthouse is critical for safe passage through the waters off Brottøya, warning mariners about the skerry it occupies and nearby hazards. Its directional light, changing between white, red, and green, provides precise guidance essential for avoiding dangerous shoals in this complex coastal region.
