About Lyngør Lighthouse
The Lyngør Lighthouse, established in 1879, features a 17-meter tall, white cylindrical concrete tower topped with a red lantern. Its light reaches a focal height of 21 meters and displays a white flash every 60 seconds (F Fl W 60s). Located on Kjeholmen, it marks the entrance to Lyngørfjord, about 8 kilometers southwest of Risør. The structure comprises the tower, a keeper's house, and an adjacent building. The site was modified in 1946 to include a fog signal. Visitors can access the lighthouse and its grounds, with the former assistant keeper's residence available for lodging.
Why it matters: This lighthouse serves as a primary navigation aid for vessels entering Lyngørfjord. The preserved light station offers historical perspective on maritime traditions and attracts visitors due to its public access.
