About Grimsholmen Lighthouse
Grimsholmen lighthouse is a 6.5-meter tall square tower with a lantern and gallery, painted white with a red lantern roof. It stands 11 meters above sea level and has a geographic range of 10.7 nautical miles. The light emits a quick green flash. This structure is located at the northwestern edge of an island, flanking the entrance to a channel leading to the village of Helligvær, approximately 500 meters east of the Grytøy light. In the past, the light source was moved 70 meters north to a post.
Why it matters: Grimsholmen's light was essential for mariners navigating the channel to Helligvær, working with the Grytøy light to ensure safe passage.
