About Leirvik Hamn Lighthouse
Also known as: Leirvik Hamn (Husøysnaget) (?)
This skeletal lighthouse, standing 7.5 meters tall, is situated in the harbor of Leirvik, Norway, marking a submerged reef. Constructed of masonry with a black skeletal tower, it supports a lantern at a focal height of 6 meters. Its light characteristic is an isophase white light on a 2-second cycle, visible for 8.9 nautical miles. The original structure, a lantern supported by tripod piles, was replaced in 2016 with a modern post light. The light guides vessels navigating the harbor approaches.
Why it matters: The lighthouse is essential for safely guiding vessels past a submerged reef within the busy Leirvik harbor.
