About Stokkneset Lighthouse

Also known as: #Stokkneset

The Stokkneset Lighthouse was established in 1924 on the southeastern tip of Stokkøya island in Norway's Trøndelag region. The original structure, built that same year, was a 7-meter tall white square tower with a lantern and gallery, standing 13 meters above sea level. It emitted a white light with a characteristic of flashing white and red. This light served a geographic range of 5 nautical miles. The lighthouse was replaced and removed in 2022, with the site remaining open to the public while the tower is closed.

Why it matters: This lighthouse was positioned along a route frequently used by ferries and cruise ships, providing navigational assistance for vessels traversing the area.
