About Leirvik Lighthouse
An octagonal concrete tower painted white and red, Leirvik Lighthouse was established as a station in 1878 and first lit in its current form in 1903. The structure features a lantern mounted on a concrete pad. Its light cycles through white, red, and green flashes every 6 seconds, with a focal height of 14 meters. The geographic range extends to 11.6 nautical miles. The lighthouse site is open to the public, but the tower itself remains closed.
Why it matters: Leirvik Lighthouse's continuous operation since 1903, following the initial 1878 station, highlights its sustained importance for local navigation within Stord Kommune.
