About Nordøyan Lighthouse
Nordøyan Lighthouse was built in 1890 as a stone and cast iron structure. The lighthouse features a 10-meter tall cylindrical tower painted white, with a lantern and gallery mounted on a round stone base. Its focal height reaches 36 meters, emitting a white light with a single flash every 40 seconds. This light has a geographic range of 16.4 nautical miles. The structure now functions as the rear light in a navigational range, with Purkholmen serving as the front light. The island site is accessible to the public, although the tower itself remains closed.
Why it matters: This lighthouse marks the southwestern extremity of the Nordøyan archipelago, assisting vessels navigating this challenging island group.
