Location & Light Range
About Kattskjær Lighthouse
A 7-meter concrete post, painted white with a red lantern roof, marks the Flatsund passage near Steigen. The lighthouse has a focal height of 7.5 meters and provides an isophase white, red, and green light every 6 seconds, with a geographic range of 9.5 nautical miles. Located on a skerry in Flatsund, which separates Engeløya from the mainland, the site is open to visitors but the tower is not accessible.
Why it matters: The Kattskjær lighthouse serves as a navigation aid for safe transit through the Flatsund. It warns vessels of the skerry and shallow areas within this narrow waterway, facilitating reliable passage for fishing boats and other craft on this coastal route.
