Located at the southern tip of Tjøme island, it marks the entrance to the Oslofjord. The site is open to the public, though the tower itself is closed.

Why it matters: The replica lighthouse serves as a landmark at Verdens Ende, a scenic coastal point, and visually signifies the navigational entry to the Oslofjord.
