About Glyngøre Lighthouse
The Glyngøre Lighthouse, built in 1911, is a 10-meter cylindrical cast iron tower painted with red and white horizontal bands. It stands at a marina on a promontory's tip, east of the fjord and north of Sallingssund. This lighthouse emits an occulting white, red, and green light with a 5-second cycle, with a geographic range of 10.4 nautical miles. It shares a design with the Grisetåodde lighthouse. The site is open to the public, though the tower remains closed. It is located 0.1 km from the nearest port, Glyngore.
Why it matters: This lighthouse is essential for guiding maritime traffic within the fjord, especially for vessels approaching the marina or navigating north of Sallingssund. Its directional light helps mariners avoid hazards and maintain safe passage.
