About Nord-Vågsøy Lighthouse

This square tower, standing 6 meters tall with a focal height of 45 meters, was located high on a cliff on the northwest coast of Vågsøy, Norway. The white structure, featuring a lantern and gallery, provided a geographic range of 17.9 nautical miles. Its light was white, and it served as a navigational aid near the port of Raudeberg. The lighthouse ceased operations in 2014 and has since been removed from its former site.

Why it matters: Its presence marked the high cliffs along the northwest coast of Vågsøy, guiding vessels through a potentially hazardous stretch of coastline.
