About Senjehestneset Lighthouse
A 10-meter round stone cairn forms the base for the lantern and gallery of Senjehestneset Lighthouse, located off the southwestern tip of Senja, Norway. The lantern structure, painted white with a red roof, is supported by piles atop the cairn. First lit in 1896, the lighthouse emits a flashing white, red, or green light every 5 seconds, visible for 11.3 nautical miles. Its focal plane is 13 meters above sea level. This conical stone tower is situated on a skerry, accessible only by boat.
Why it matters: The lighthouse's sector light is critical for guiding vessels past numerous skerries along Senja's southwestern coast. Its construction demonstrates Norwegian coastal engineering adapted to a challenging environment.
