About Valsholmflua Lighthouse
Built in 1908, Valsholmflua is a 10-meter skeletal tower situated on a shoal north of Uthaug in Norway's Trøndelag region. It features a white structure with a red lantern roof and a tripod support base, including an enclosed watch room and double gallery. The focal height of the light is 9 meters, providing a geographic range of 10 nautical miles. Its operational light displays a white, red, or green signal on a 6-second cycle, depending on the direction of approach. Access to the site is possible by boat, with the nearest port being Valsneset, 1.5 kilometers away, though the tower itself is closed to the public.
Why it matters: This lighthouse marks a specific shoal north of Uthaug, a submerged hazard. Its directional light system provides precise guidance for vessels navigating the complex Norwegian coastal routes.
