About Knerten Lighthouse
Knerten lighthouse is a 6-meter-tall square tower constructed from fiberglass, topped with a lantern and gallery. It stands on a skerry at the eastern entrance to the Frøviksund, a passage between Madsøy and Leka islands. The tower is painted white with a red roof. Its light emits three flashes in white, green, or red every 12 seconds. The focal height of the light is 5 meters, providing a geographic range of 8.4 nautical miles. Visitors can access the site, but the tower itself is closed to the public.
Why it matters: This lighthouse is essential for vessels navigating the Frøviksund, marking the eastern entrance to this critical passage between Madsøy and Leka. Its directional light warns mariners of the skerry on which it is located.
