About Hestabakken Lighthouse
A 7-meter concrete post supporting a lantern and gallery guides vessels on the east side of the Grimstadfjord, opposite Mathopen. The structure features a white foundation with yellow upper sections and a red lantern roof. Its light emits white, red, and green flashes on a 6-second cycle, with a geographic range of 8.9 nautical miles. The tower stands 6 meters above sea level. The site is open to the public, though the tower itself is closed.
Why it matters: This light helps vessels navigate the Grimstadfjord, providing directional guidance with its multi-colored signal. Its position opposite Mathopen suggests it marks a critical channel or hazard within the waterway.
