About Laksskjær Lighthouse
Laksskjær lighthouse, located at the southeastern edge of a reef cluster off the south end of Tjøme, Norway, guides vessels through complex coastal waters. The 10.5-meter structure features a lantern and gallery atop a platform supported by four black piles. Its lantern is white with a red roof, providing a geographic range of 11 nautical miles. The light emits two white, red, or green flashes every 8 seconds, depending on the direction of approach. The site is open to the public, though the tower itself is closed.
Why it matters: This lighthouse is essential for safe passage through the intricate network of skerries and reefs, specifically warning vessels away from the dangerous Laksskjær reef. Its design on four piles is a practical solution for marking submerged hazards in exposed waters.
