About Store Flatholmen Lighthouse
Also known as: Store Flatholmen (Melstein)
A skeletal steel tower stands 6.5 meters tall on a small island marking the western end of the Melstein reef. The lighthouse, located near Ørland in Trøndelag, features a lantern mounted on a platform supported by tripod piles, with a focal height of 14 meters. Its white tower is topped with a red roof. The light emits a white, red, or green signal, flashing once every 5 seconds. This aid has a geographic range of 11.6 nautical miles. The island site is accessible to the public, but the tower itself is closed.
Why it matters: The lighthouse marks the western extremity of the Melstein reef, a significant hazard to vessels navigating this segment of the Norwegian coast.
