About Torsøya Lighthouse
This 6-meter white tower with a red roof stands on piles on the eastern point of Torsøya, an island east of Kristiansand. Its focal height reaches 25 meters, casting a white light with a single flash on a cycle. The quadrilateral structure houses a lantern and gallery and has a geographic range of 6 nautical miles. The site is open to the public, but the tower itself remains closed. It is located 4.3 kilometers from Flekkeroy, the nearest port.
Why it matters: This lighthouse was important for guiding vessels approaching Kristiansand from the east, marking the eastern point of Torsøya and aiding navigation around the island's entrance.
