About Rødholmen Lighthouse
Also known as: Rødholmen (Raudholmen)
This lighthouse, established in 1917, guides vessels near Svolvær, a fishing town in Norway's Nordland region. The structure is an 8-meter cylindrical fiberglass post painted white, topped with a round lantern and gallery, and a red lantern roof. Its focal height reaches 18 meters, and it emits an occulting white, red, and green light on a 6-second cycle, visible for 12.7 nautical miles. The post stands on a small island approximately 0.8 kilometers from Svolvær, the nearest port. The site is open to visitors, though the tower is closed.
Why it matters: The Rødholmen lighthouse is essential for safe navigation for local fishing boats and tourist vessels operating around Svolvær, guiding them through the complex island passages.
