About Nordre Vassøy Lighthouse
Also known as: Nordre Vassøy (?)
Nordre Vassøy is a white concrete structure located in Kristiansand, Norway, standing 14 meters above sea level. It features a 4.5-meter tall lantern. The lighthouse emitted a single white flash with a geographic range of 5 nautical miles. Its operational service concluded in 2019, and the light apparatus has since been scheduled for removal. While the tower is closed to the public, the site remains open for visitors.
Why it matters: Though now inactive, Nordre Vassøy served to guide vessels along the Norwegian coast, contributing to maritime safety in its vicinity.
