About Kirkjuhóll Lighthouse
A white concrete semi-elliptical tower with a lantern, Kirkjuhóll lighthouse was built in 1953. Standing 6 meters tall, its focal height reaches 36 meters above sea level. The light emits a single long flash of white, red, or green every 10 seconds, depending on the bearing. The tower is located on the south shore of the Snæfells peninsula, accessible by a short walk from Highway 54. While the site is open for visitors, the tower itself is closed.
Why it matters: This lighthouse is essential for guiding vessels along the south coast of the Snæfellsnes peninsula, with its sector light system indicating safe channels and warning of dangers. Its location aids mariners navigating the Icelandic waters.
