Fulehuk Lighthouse

Fulehuk Lighthouse is a white stone structure with a square tower, balcony, and red signal light positioned over the Oslofjord. The building offers sleeping accommodations with alcoves upstairs and multiple beds on the main level.

The first beacon was built in 1821 and guided ships safely for nearly a century before a new tower was constructed in 1916. This change reflects how maritime practices evolved and demanded improved navigation aids.

The lighthouse is cared for by a dedicated group of volunteers who keep the maritime traditions of this place alive. Visitors can see how this location remains connected to the region's relationship with the sea.

Access to this location requires water transport, so planning ahead is necessary. The best visiting season is during warmer months when weather conditions are more stable and boat services run more frequently.

A metal pole now marks the location where active maritime duties transferred to another beacon in 1989. This detail shows how modern navigation replaced the original function while the site retained its cultural significance.
