About Feistein Lighthouse
Constructed in 1859, Feistein Lighthouse is a 25-meter tall cylindrical tower made of cast iron, standing on a small island approximately 2 kilometers off the coast near Verdalen in Norway's Rogaland county. Its exterior is painted red, distinguished by two white horizontal bands situated below the gallery. The lighthouse emits two white flashes every 20 seconds from a focal height of 34 meters, with a geographic range of 16 nautical miles. The structure includes the round cast iron tower with its lantern and gallery, attached to a two-story keeper's house. While the site is open to visitors, access to the tower itself is restricted.
Why it matters: Architecturally, its round cast iron tower, uniquely attached to a two-story keeper's house, presents a distinctive example of 19th-century Norwegian lighthouse design.
