About Tenneskjær Lighthouse
Tenneskjær Lighthouse stands on a small skerry 2.5 kilometers northeast of Hauge, guiding vessels through narrow passages north of Vesterøy. The structure consists of a lantern and gallery mounted on four straight piles painted black, with the lantern itself featuring a white finish and a red roof. Its focal height is 4 meters, and it has a geographic range of 7.9 nautical miles. The light emits an occulting white, red, or green signal every 6 seconds, varying by direction. The site is open to visitors, but the tower remains closed.
Why it matters: This lighthouse is indispensable for safe passage through the constricted channels north of Vesterøy, warning mariners of the skerry and surrounding hazards. Its unique pile-supported construction adapted to its exposed location makes it a distinctive landmark.
