About Lågemade Forfyr Lighthouse
This 8-meter cylindrical cast iron tower was built in 1896 and first lit the same year. Its exterior is painted white with a single red horizontal band, and it features a lantern and gallery. The light emits an occulting red signal every 2 seconds, visible for 11.3 nautical miles. Located on the waterfront in Egernsund, it stands 13 meters above sea level. The site is accessible to the public, though the tower itself remains closed.
Why it matters: This lighthouse is indispensable for westbound ships, providing a critical navigational reference as they turn around the Schausende peninsula.
