Årøy Lighthouse
Location & Light Range
About Årøy Lighthouse
The Årøy lighthouse is situated on the north side of Romsdalfjord, about 3 kilometers east of Molde harbor and adjacent to Molde's airport. Its light is displayed from a tripod mast positioned on the roof of an 11-meter airport control tower. This structure provides an occulting white, red, or green light that cycles every 6 seconds. The light has a geographic range of 10.7 nautical miles. The lighthouse's site is accessible to the public, but the tower itself is closed.
Why it matters: This lighthouse offers directional guidance for vessels entering and leaving Molde harbor and navigating the Romsdalfjord. Its unique integration with an active airport control tower highlights an unusual approach to serving both aviation and maritime safety.
