About Kopervik Lighthouse
Also known as: Kopervik (Kobbernaglen)
The Kopervik Lighthouse stands on a rocky reef at the entrance to Kopervik harbor. First lit in 1863, this stone tower is 8 meters tall and has a focal height of 8 meters. It features a cylindrical, white structure with a red roof and a lantern gallery. The lighthouse emits an occulting white, red, and green light, with two flashes every 8 seconds, indicating specific approach directions. Its operational status continues to guide vessels navigating this coastal area.
Why it matters: This lighthouse is indispensable for safe passage into Kopervik harbor, particularly given its location on a rocky reef at the entrance. Its unique directional light, displaying white, red, or green depending on the specific approach, precisely guides ships through the narrow, potentially hazardous channels.
