About Torsholmakobben Lighthouse
The Torsholmakobben lighthouse is an 8-meter-tall cylindrical concrete tower with orange and black horizontal bands, topped by a lantern and gallery. It stands on a small, rocky skerry within the Skiftet archipelago, situated off the southeastern edge of Torsholma island. Its light emits a white, red, and green signal, displaying a white flash followed by red and green flashes every 3 seconds. The tower itself is closed to the public, though the site is accessible by boat. This structure guides vessels with a geographic range of 9.7 nautical miles.
Why it matters: Torsholmakobben is essential for safe passage through the Skiftet, a complex island-dotted waterway. Its directional light warns vessels navigating channels around Torsholma, helping them avoid numerous skerries and shallow areas.
