About Risholmen Lighthouse
The Risholmen lighthouse is a square skeletal tower, 6.5 meters in height, covered with wood siding and topped with a lantern and gallery. It stands on a small skerry on the south side of the Arasvikfjord, within Norway's Trøndelag County. This structure, with its focal plane at 6 meters, emits a light that cycles through white, red, and green every 6 seconds. The lighthouse is operational and has a geographic range of 8.9 nautical miles. The surrounding site is open to visitors arriving by boat, although the tower itself is closed to the public. Its nearest port is Halsa, located 9.6 kilometers away.
Why it matters: This lighthouse aids safe passage through the Arasvikfjord, with its sectoral light clearly marking safe waters and warning of the skerry. Its wooden skeletal tower construction also represents a specific type of Norwegian coastal engineering.
