About Herøy Lighthouses Lighthouse
This wooden lighthouse, constructed as a square cylindrical tower, stands 14 meters tall and rises from the seaward gable of a 1.5-story keeper's house. It is situated on a skerry off the north coast of Gurskøy, near Herøy in Norway's Møre og Romsdal region. The tower, painted white with a red roof, features a lantern and gallery. Its light emits three white, red, or green flashes every 10 seconds, visible for 12.4 nautical miles. The site is accessible to the public, though the tower itself remains closed.
Why it matters: The lighthouse marks a hazardous skerry and ensures safe passage for vessels navigating the north coast of Gurskøy. Its integrated keeper's house structure reflects a distinctive regional architectural style.
