About Hestholmen Lighthouse
Hestholmen is a lighthouse located on a skerry off the south side of Maøy, approximately 4 km west-southwest of Støtt in Norway's Nordland region. The structure consists of a 6-meter lantern, painted white with a red roof, which is mounted on a platform supported by piles. These piles are painted black. The lighthouse emits a directional light that cycles through white, red, and green every 4 seconds. With a focal height of 12 meters, it has a geographic range of 11 nautical miles. The operational status of Hestholmen confirms its role in aiding navigation in this area.
Why it matters: This lighthouse guides vessels past a skerry on Maøy's southern coast. Its directional light provides specific warnings in a complex island environment, and its construction on piles is an adaptive engineering solution for an exposed location.
