About Århus Vestmole Lighthouse
A cylindrical cast iron tower, standing 6 meters tall, was constructed in 1935 at the end of the west mole enclosing Århus's traditional inner harbor. The structure is painted white with a broad green horizontal band and features a lantern and gallery. Its focal height is 8 meters above the water, and it emits a green light that flashes once every 5 seconds. This operational lighthouse is situated near the port of Århus, with the site open to visitors though the tower is closed. It has served continuously since its first lighting in 1935.
Why it matters: The Århus Vestmole lighthouse is indispensable for vessels entering and exiting the traditional inner harbor of Århus, clearly marking the end of the west mole. Its distinct green flash provides critical guidance, preventing collisions with the harbor infrastructure and ensuring safe navigation through this busy commercial waterway.
