About Glåpen Lighthouse
Built in 1857, Glåpen Lighthouse is a 7-meter square wooden tower painted white with a red lantern. It is attached to a 1-1/2 story keeper's house and stands on a promontory that marks the west side of the harbor entrance to Sørvågen. The lighthouse was operational until 1985, and its light characteristic was a yellow flash. The site is now open to the public, although the tower itself remains closed. The nearest port is Moskenes, just 0.1 km away.
Why it matters: The lighthouse's position was essential for mariners navigating into Sørvågen harbor, a significant fishing center.
