About Værsøydraget Lighthouse
This navigational aid is mounted on a platform supported by piles, situated on a skerry within the sound separating Hitra from Værsøy. The structure is an 8-meter lantern painted white with a red roof. It operated with a green flashing light. The light had a geographic range of 9.7 nautical miles. The site is open to the public, though the lantern is not accessible. Its operational status ceased in 2023, with likely removal planned.
Why it matters: Its unique construction, a lantern directly on a pile-supported platform, made it a distinctive feature of the coastal navigation system. The impending removal highlights the ongoing modernization of maritime aids.
