About Tvingsberg Lighthouse
Also known as: Tvingsberg (ex-Forfyr)
This white, latticed structure stands 8 meters tall, with its lights displayed from a 1-1/2 story keeper's house. The dwelling, painted white with a gray dormer and shingled roof, shows light from both a dormer window and a second-floor gable window. The focal height of the light is 12 meters, offering a geographic range of 11 nautical miles. Its light characteristic is an occulting white signal every 5 seconds. In 2016, the northbound directional light was updated, replacing a previous front range light. The site is open to the public, but the keeper's house itself is closed.
Why it matters: The lighthouse's distinct setup, with lights integrated into a keeper's house, serves to guide both northbound and southbound vessels near Assens and Bågø.
