Halten Lighthouse
Location & Light Range
About Halten Lighthouse
Built of stone in 1875, Halten Lighthouse stands 30 meters tall with a focal height of 39 meters. Its white tower features two narrow black horizontal bands. Originally constructed as one of a pair of lighthouses at Lista in 1853, it was dismantled in 1874 and rebuilt at its current location on an island in the Norwegian Sea the following year. The light flashes white every 4 seconds, visible for 16.9 nautical miles. The lighthouse is located on an island about 40 kilometers northeast of Mausund, within the Froan island chain. It served as a staffed lighthouse until 2004.
Why it matters: Halten Lighthouse's relocation from Lista in 1875 highlights its importance for maritime navigation in a new shipping lane. It guides vessels through the waters of the Froan islands.
