About Stonglandseidet Lighthouse
This 7-meter stone lighthouse is situated on Risøyskjær, a skerry off the east side of the Stonglandseidet isthmus, which connects Senja's southern peninsula to the island's main body. The structure consists of a white lantern with a red roof and a gallery, mounted on a stone cairn. It emits an occulting white, red, and green light that completes its cycle every 6 seconds. The geographic range of the light is 8.9 nautical miles. The lighthouse is operational, though the tower itself is closed to the public; the site is accessible by boat.
Why it matters: This lighthouse guides mariners around the Risøyskjær skerry and the Stonglandseidet isthmus, a critical passage in this region of Norway. Its lantern and gallery mounted on a stone cairn represent a distinct construction style.
