About Grønsund Forfyr Lighthouse
Grønsund Forfyr was built in 1891 as a hexagonal brick tower standing 13 meters tall. Its focal height is 12 meters, and it emits a white light with a characteristic of one occlusion every 2 seconds.

The grounds are open to visitors, though the tower itself remains closed to the public. Its geographic range is 11 nautical miles.
