About Sponvikskansen Lighthouse
This 6-meter tall concrete lighthouse stands at the base of a vertical cliff, marking the entrance to Sponvika from the Svinesund. It features a white cylindrical tower with a red lantern roof and a black pier. The focal height of the light is 9 meters, and it offers a geographic range of 10 nautical miles. The operational light displays an occulting white light on a 6-second cycle, also capable of showing red or green depending on the approach. The structure is accessible only by boat, with the nearest port being Halden, 5.2 kilometers away.
Why it matters: The lighthouse is essential for safe navigation into Sponvika from the Svinesund, particularly due to its location near the Swedish border and the narrow, cliff-lined entrance it guards.
