About Ognaskjæret Lighthouse
This 9-meter concrete post lighthouse, painted white with a red lantern roof, stands on a skerry between Ognøy and Austre Bokn. Its operational light emits a white, red, or green signal with a 6-second cycle, visible for 9.9 nautical miles. The lighthouse's structure includes a lantern and gallery, with a focal height of 8.5 meters. Its location is notable as it lies directly beneath the E-39 Ognasund Bridge, which passes over the skerry. The site is open to the public, although the tower itself remains closed.
Why it matters: The lighthouse is essential for guiding vessels through the channel between Ognøy and Austre Bokn, and its position beneath the Ognasund Bridge creates a distinctive landmark.
