Eigerøy Lighthouse, Cast iron lighthouse on Midbrødøya island, Norway.

The red cylindrical tower with a white horizontal stripe stands 33 meters tall on the western coast of Rogaland county.

Built in 1854 as Norway's first cast iron lighthouse, the structure guided maritime traffic until its automation in 1989.

The lighthouse incorporates a first-order Fresnel lens system that produces three white flashes every 30 seconds across the North Sea.

Visitors can reach the lighthouse via a 2.6-kilometer paved road, with the final 1.5 kilometers requiring a walk from the parking area.

The light beam reaches an intensity of 3,905,000 candela, making it visible from a distance of 34.8 kilometers across the water.
