About Hekseterholmen Lighthouse
This concrete post lighthouse, standing 5.5 meters tall, was constructed in 1999 and first lit that same year. It is painted white with a red lantern roof. The light emits a red or green signal, with an occulting characteristic that flashes on and off every six seconds. Situated on a skerry approximately 1.2 kilometers southeast of Syrevågen, it has a focal height of 9.5 meters and a geographic range of 10.2 nautical miles. The site is open for visitors, though the tower itself remains closed.
Why it matters: The directional light system of this lighthouse provides precise guidance for navigating the waters around Syrevågen, marking a potential hazard to local vessels. The original lantern is preserved at the Karmøy Fiskerimuseum, highlighting its historical significance to regional maritime heritage.
