Kallur lighthouse, Lighthouse on the northern tip of Kalsoy, Faroe Islands
Kallur lighthouse is a square, red-and-white-painted tower with a lantern room and gallery, standing on the grassy headland of Kallur at the northern tip of Kalsoy. It rises above vertical sea cliffs, with the uninhabited islet of Kalsoy's north coast below and views across the sound to Eysturoy and Streymoy. A small service building sits beside the tower, and a fence and path lead up to it.
The lighthouse was built in 1927 and has guided ships through northern Faroese waters ever since. It has withstood harsh Atlantic conditions while maintaining its original navigational purpose.
This lighthouse marks the endpoint of a traditional sheep path that local farmers have used for generations to tend their flocks.
To reach the lighthouse, take a ferry from Klaksvik to Syðradalur and drive through four tunnels. From Trøllanes village, a hiking trail leads uphill for about an hour to reach the top.
The final scenes of No Time to Die were shot on Kalsoy in 2019, and the crew built a temporary access track across the headland to move equipment to the cliff edge. The track was removed afterwards, leaving the grass path visitors walk today.
