About Gloppene Lighthouse
Gloppene Lighthouse stands on a small island approximately 2 kilometers southeast of Røvær, an inhabited island northwest of Haugesund, Norway. The structure is a massive, round stone tower, 16 meters in height, painted red and topped with a lantern and gallery. Its focal height is 12 meters above sea level. The light emits a white, red, or green beam in a cycle of 6 seconds, marking safe passages and potential hazards. While the tower is closed to the public, the site is accessible by boat and offers views of the surrounding sea region.
Why it matters: This lighthouse is important for local navigation, guiding vessels through potentially hazardous waters toward Røvær and Haugesund. Its red stone tower provides a distinct daymark along the Norwegian coast.
