About Kværeknapp Lighthouse
Kværeknapp lighthouse, a 6-meter square skeletal tower with an enclosed upper section, a lantern, and a gallery, stands at 32 meters above sea level. Its white structure is topped with a red roof. The light emits a white, red, or green signal with a characteristic of a long flash every 10 seconds. This lighthouse is situated on the southern tip of Ytre Sula, marking the north side of the Sognefjord entrance from the Norwegian Sea. The lighthouse grounds are accessible to the public, though the tower itself remains closed.
Why it matters: This lighthouse is indispensable for safe passage into and out of the Sognefjord, a critical artery for maritime traffic navigating the Norwegian coast. Its sector light system precisely guides vessels past the southern tip of Ytre Sula.
