Syrevågen Lighthouse
Location & Light Range
About Syrevågen Lighthouse
This skeletal lighthouse, standing 8 meters tall, guides vessels at the end of the mole in Syrevågen. Constructed from cast iron, its lantern and gallery are painted white with a red roof, while the four supporting piles appear gray. The focal height reaches 12 meters, providing a geographic range of 11 nautical miles. Its light exhibits an occulting white, red, and green signal that repeats every 2 seconds. The site is open to the public, though the tower itself remains closed.
Why it matters: This lighthouse is essential for guiding local fishing boats and recreational vessels safely into the harbor of Syrevågen, particularly as it marks the precise end of the protective mole. Its distinctive directional light, which changes color between white, red, and green based on the approach, provides critical, unambiguous signals for navigating the narrow entrance.
