About Øvre Måholmen Lighthouse
Also known as: Øvre Måholmen (Måholmen Range Rear)
The Øvre Måholmen lighthouse guides vessels near the east end of Måholmen island. This active light features a white, red, or green signal that changes depending on the approach direction. The current square skeletal tower, topped with a lantern and gallery, stands 17.5 meters tall, with its focal plane at 26 meters. It emits a white flash every 5 seconds. The original lighthouse was constructed in 1907 but was destroyed by fire in 1934. The site is open to visitors, though the tower is not accessible.
Why it matters: The sector light is critical for safe navigation around Måholmen's eastern end. Visible ruins of the original 1907 lighthouse offer a historical connection to Norway's maritime past.
