About Munkviken Lighthouse
Also known as: Munkviken (Munkvik)
A 5-meter square wooden lantern house, supported by piles, marks the waterfront at Munkviken. Built in 1940, this operational lighthouse emits a continuous light that can be white, red, or green, depending on navigational requirements. The focal height of the light is 6 meters, with a geographic range of 8.9 nautical miles. The structure is made of wood. While visitors can access the site, the tower itself is closed to the public.
Why it matters: The lighthouse's adaptable continuous light, changing between white, red, and green, aids precise navigation for vessels close to the waterfront. Its functional design reflects a practical approach to coastal marking.
