About Kjeøy Lighthouse
Also known as: Kjeøy (Kjeøya)
Located on the western extremity of Kjeøy, an island near the eastern extent of Foldafjord, approximately 4 km southeast of Geisnes, Norway, stands this 6-meter-high square skeletal tower. The structure, painted white, features a lantern and gallery at its apex and is clad with siding. Its light originates from a focal height of 8.5 meters above sea level. The illumination produces two white flashes followed by a red or green flash, repeating every 8 seconds. The light's reach extends to 9.9 nautical miles. Visitors may access the site, though the tower remains closed.
Why it matters: This lighthouse serves as a navigation aid for vessels transiting the complex waterways of Foldafjord, marking the western point of Kjeøy island. Its directional light, indicated by changing colors (white, red, or green), offers specific navigational markers for secure transit within this fjord network.
