Saksa Lighthouse
Location & Light Range
About Saksa Lighthouse
Saksa Lighthouse stands on a short skeletal steel tower with a lantern and gallery, measuring 8.5 meters in height and with a focal height of 7.5 meters. The tower, painted red with a single white horizontal band, is situated on a skerry about 1.5 kilometers west of the Buholmråsa lighthouse in Norway's Trøndelag region. Its operational light emits three flashes of white, red, or green every 12 seconds, visible for 9.5 nautical miles. The site is open to the public, though the skeletal tower itself is closed. The nearest port is Sandviksberget, 4.8 kilometers away.
Why it matters: This lighthouse is important for navigating the network of skerries and channels along this Norwegian coast, working in conjunction with the Buholmråsa light. Its directional light system helps delineate safe passages and warn vessels away from submerged hazards.
