About Gitmertangen South Range Rear Lighthouse
This square, wooden range light structure stands 6 meters tall and was first lit in 1897. It is painted white with a red gable and features a black vertical stripe along the range line. The light is shown through a window from a focal height of 26 meters. The structure consists of a hut with a gable roof, incorporating the light apparatus. The Gitmertangen South Range Rear light emits two white flashes every 8 seconds. The site is open to the public, but the tower itself remains closed.
Why it matters: As a rear range light, Gitmertangen is essential for guiding vessels along a precise course northeast of Arendal, ensuring safe passage through the coastal waters off the island of Tromøy.
