Runde Lighthouse, Coastal lighthouse in Herøy, Norway

The lighthouse stands 14 meters tall on Kvalneset at the northwestern tip of Runde Island, with a focal height of 49.5 meters above sea level.

Established in 1767 as Norway's sixth lighthouse and the first one built north of Stadt, the structure underwent additional constructions in 1826 and 1858.

The lighthouse served as home to keepers, assistants, families, and support staff for 235 years until its automation in September 2002.

The lighthouse emits alternating white, red, and green lights every six seconds, with the white beam reaching 19 nautical miles across the Norwegian waters.

The former lighthouse keeper's residence now operates as a self-service tourist cabin through an agreement between Norwegian Coastal Administration and DNT Sunnmøre.
