About Geitingen Lighthouse
Geitingen lighthouse, established in 1913, is situated on a skerry in the North Sea, about 3 kilometers west of Tjeldstø. This square, 6-meter wooden tower features wood siding and is topped by a lantern and gallery. Its focal height reaches 17 meters, and it emits an occulting white, red, and green light that completes a cycle every 6 seconds, visible for 12.4 nautical miles. The lighthouse is located near the port of Kollsnes, 1.5 kilometers away. While the site is accessible to visitors, the tower itself is closed.
Why it matters: This lighthouse is important for guiding vessels around the skerry on which it sits and along the nearby coast.
