About Stangskjærrabben Lighthouse
The Stangskjærrabben lighthouse, first lit in 1892, guides mariners on the south side of a busy channel west of Heggholmen lighthouse. It replaced an earlier hexagonal stone tower with a modern hexagonal fiberglass structure, standing 7 meters tall on a concrete pile. The tower is painted white with two narrow black horizontal bands and a red top. Its operational light emits three red flashes every 10 seconds, with a geographic range of 9.3 nautical miles. The site is open to visitors arriving by boat, though the tower itself is closed.
Why it matters: This light, situated 0.8 km from Oslo's port, marks the southern boundary of the channel, complementing the nearby Hegskjær lighthouse and aiding safe passage.
