About Vetegjøgraskjæret Lighthouse
This square wooden tower lighthouse stands 8 meters tall on a skerry marking the east side of the Fedjefjord entrance near Austrheim, Norway. Supported by four piles, the structure includes a lantern and gallery, with its light positioned 13 meters above sea level. It emits an occulting white, green, or red light on a 6-second cycle, visible for 11.3 nautical miles. The lighthouse is operational and guides vessels navigating the coastal waters towards the nearest port of Fedje, located 4 kilometers away. Access to the skerry is restricted to boat travel only, and the structure itself is not open to the public.
Why it matters: The lighthouse provides critical directional guidance through its distinct light sectors for vessels entering the Fedjefjord, addressing navigational hazards at the fjord's eastern entrance. Its construction on four piles demonstrates a practical design suited for the Norwegian coastal environment.
