About Støtt Lighthouse
Also known as: Støtt (Seiskjær)
A 12.5 meter concrete post supports the operational light at Støtt, painted white with a single black horizontal band and a red lantern roof. The structure stands on Nordre Seiskjær, a skerry located a short distance north of the original lighthouse site on Seiskjær. This modern station, first lit in 1954, replaced an earlier structure established in 1867. Its light emits two flashes in a 10-second cycle, showing white, red, or green to mark specific channels and hazards. The focal height of the light is 11.5 meters, with a geographic range of 10.9 nautical miles. The site is accessible by boat, though the tower itself is closed to the public.
Why it matters: The light's distinctive directional characteristic is essential for safely guiding vessels through the intricate coastal waters and into the harbor of Støtt, supporting local fishing and maritime traffic.
