Langevåg Lighthouse

First lit in 1855, the Langevåg lighthouse served as a marker for the southern side of the entrance to Langevåg on the Bømlafjord. Originally positioned on a small island, the structure consisted of a 4-meter lantern atop a concrete pad. A later breakwater connected the island to the mainland, changing its isolated setting. The lighthouse's operational period was limited, concluding when it was deactivated in 1896. A post light named Litla Bleikja then assumed its navigational duties. Today, the original structure is inactive, though it can be seen from ferries crossing the Bømlafjord.

Why it matters: The lighthouse was important for guiding vessels into the Langevåg entrance, a significant passage within the Bømlafjord.
