About Ospøytåa Lighthouse
Ospøytåa lighthouse is a square, skeletal tower standing 10 meters tall, located on an island off the northwestern tip of Ospa. Its upper section is enclosed with siding and topped by a lantern with a gallery, painted white with a red lantern roof. The light emits three distinct colors: white, red, and green, cycling through a five-second pattern. Situated 16 meters above sea level, the light has a geographic range of 12.2 nautical miles. The site is open to visitors, though the tower itself remains closed. The nearest port is Lutelandet, approximately 7.5 kilometers away.
Why it matters: This lighthouse is indispensable for safe navigation into the Lågøyfjord, with its directional flashes guiding vessels through the fjord's entrance. Its distinct square skeletal design is an architectural feature adapted to its exposed island location.
