About Langøytangen Lighthouse
Constructed in 1876, the Langøytangen Lighthouse stands as a 12-meter cylindrical masonry tower. It is painted white, with a red lantern and gallery, and is attached to a one-story keeper's house. The light emits an occulting white, red, or green signal on a 6-second cycle, visible for 12.4 nautical miles. The lighthouse is situated on the southern tip of Langøy, acting as a natural breakwater for the harbor of Langesund. The site is open to the public, though the tower itself is closed.
Why it matters: This lighthouse precisely marks the southern extremity of Langøy, guiding vessels safely into and out of Langesund harbor.
