About Værholmnakken Lighthouse
This square masonry tower, standing 7.5 meters tall, is painted white and features a red lantern roof. Its focal height is 18 meters, and it emits an occulting white, red, or green light on a 6-second cycle, visible for 12.7 nautical miles. The structure includes a lantern and gallery. The site is open to the public, but the tower itself is closed. It is located on a small island marking the entrance to Røst harbor, 0.6 kilometers from the nearest port.
Why it matters: The lighthouse's directional light system is essential for guiding vessels safely through the narrow entrance to Røst harbor, a significant hub for local fishing and maritime activities.
