About Festvåghalsen Lighthouse
The Festvåghalsen lighthouse is a metal, square pyramidal skeletal tower standing 8 meters tall. It is situated beside the Sunnlandsfjordveien in Festvåg, Vågan, Norway, with its focal height at 10 meters. The structure is a square pyramidal skeletal tower with a lantern and gallery. It emits a directional light with three flashes of white, red, or green every 10 seconds, visible for 10.4 nautical miles. The site is accessible to the public, though the tower itself is closed.
Why it matters: This lighthouse guides vessels through the Sunnlandsfjord, a narrow and sometimes challenging waterway. Its unique pile-supported platform design is a practical architectural solution for its coastal location.
