About Stangeskjær Lighthouse
Stangeskjær Lighthouse is an 8-meter stone cairn situated on a small skerry off the west coast of Kråkerøy, near Fredrikstad, Norway. The stone cairn is painted white and features a black vertical stripe on each face. A small square cabinet atop the cairn houses the light. The focal height of the light is 10.5 meters, and it emits an occulting red signal that flashes once every 2 seconds. This light has a geographic range of 10.5 nautical miles. The site is accessible to the public, but the tower itself is closed. The nearest port is Engelsviken, located 8.3 kilometers away.
Why it matters: This lighthouse is important for safe passage through the complex archipelago off Kråkerøy, warning mariners of the skerry it occupies. Its distinctive construction and red light serve as a landmark and navigational aid in this area dense with submerged rocks and small islands.
