About Østre Orholmskjær Lighthouse
Also known as: #Østre Orholmskjær (Range Rear)
Østre Orholmskjær was a red, square tower standing 9 meters tall with a focal height of 7 meters. It featured a lantern and gallery and was situated on a skerry north of the passage to Jøstølen near Smøla, Norway. The lighthouse emitted a single red flash. Although its construction date is not recorded, it served as a navigational aid for vessels in this area. The site remains open, though the tower was removed in 2022.
Why it matters: The lighthouse was essential for guiding ships through the specific passage leading to Jøstølen, a route that likely presented navigational challenges.
