Location & Light Range
About Trefotskjær Lighthouse
The Trefotskjær lighthouse is situated on a skerry on the north side of the Stavfjord, southeast of Askrova. This metal, skeletal tower stands 8.5 meters tall, with its lantern and gallery supported by tripod piles. The focal height of the light is 9.5 meters, and it emits two white flashes on an 8-second cycle, with a geographic range of 10.2 nautical miles. The structure's black tripod piles contrast with the lantern and gallery, providing a clear visual marker. The site is open to visitors, though the tower itself remains closed.
Why it matters: This lighthouse is important for guiding vessels through the Stavfjord, particularly by marking the northern boundary and warning them away from the skerry it occupies. Its specialized structure is well-suited to its exposed marine environment.
