Fruholmen Lighthouse

Standing at 18 meters tall, this concrete lighthouse with a red lantern top flashes white light every 20 seconds across the Barents Sea waters.

The original cast iron structure from 1866 was destroyed during World War II and replaced with the current concrete tower in 1949.

This northernmost lighthouse in Norway represents the first of three major navigation beacons guiding ships around the North Cape into the Barents Sea.

The lighthouse operates with an intensity of 2,061,000 candela and maintains a range of 16 nautical miles for maritime navigation in northern waters.

Located on a small islet off the northern coast of Ingøya island, the lighthouse includes a secondary light system displaying white, red, or green signals.
