About Sømnes Lighthouse
Also known as: Sømnes (Jarholmen)
The Sømnes Lighthouse, established in 1908, is an octagonal pyramidal skeletal tower standing 6 meters tall. It is covered with white siding and features a lantern room with a red roof and a gallery. The focal height of the light is 8 meters, and it offers a geographic range of 9.7 nautical miles. Its light characteristic is an occulting white, green, and red light on a 6-second cycle. The lighthouse is situated on the southern tip of Sømnes island, marking the entrance to Berg harbor from the Brønnøysund. The site is open to visitors, though the tower itself is closed.
Why it matters: This lighthouse is essential for safe passage into Berg harbor, particularly for vessels approaching from the Brønnøysund. Its directional light provides critical guidance for navigating the harbor entrance.
