About Orehoved Bagfyr Lighthouse
This Danish lighthouse, built in 1895, is a white, semielliptical cylindrical tower standing 11 meters tall. It was raised by an additional story in 1933, improving its visibility. The light emits an occulting white, green, or red signal that changes every 4 seconds, serving as a directional aid. The station was first established in 1879, initially with a mast light before the current structure was erected. Visitors can access the site, though the tower itself remains closed to the public.
Why it matters: The lighthouse provides specific guidance for vessels approaching the Orehoved quay and navigating near the Storstrøm Bridge, utilizing a directional light that changes color to indicate safe passage.
