About Springen Lighthouse
Springen lighthouse is a 9-meter tall skeletal tower with a lantern mounted on a tripod pile platform. It is located on a skerry about 1.2 kilometers east-southeast of the Brasøy ferry terminal in Norway's Nordland region. The white tower features a red roof, and its light, positioned at a focal height of 6 meters, emits three occulting flashes of white, red, or green light every 12 seconds. This light has a geographic range of 8.9 nautical miles. The site is open to the public, but the tower itself is closed.
Why it matters: This lighthouse is essential for vessels navigating near the Brasøy ferry terminal, specifically warning them of the skerry upon which it stands. Its directional light provides critical guidance through local channels and protects against coastal hazards.
