About Digerud Nordre Lighthouse

Also known as: #Digerud Nordre

This 12-meter concrete post lighthouse, characterized by a white tower with two narrow green horizontal bands and a red lantern roof, was situated on a small pile-supported platform. It featured a lantern and gallery and emitted a green light. Serving the waters northwest of the Digerudgrunnen lighthouse, it marked a specific navigational point for local mariners. The original structure was replaced with a simpler, modern mast light, also emitting a continuous green signal. The site remains open for visits, though the original tower is no longer accessible.

Why it matters: The lighthouse was important for marking a specific navigational point northwest of the Digerudgrunnen lighthouse, guiding local shipping.
