Buholmråsa Lighthouse

Buholmråsa Lighthouse is a red cylindrical beacon with a white stripe located on Sønnaholmen island in Trøndelag county, standing 23.5 meters tall. The structure is built from cast iron and designed to be clearly visible to vessels navigating the coastline.

This beacon was constructed in 1917 and served as an important navigation aid along this Norwegian coast. It sustained damage from aerial attacks during World War II but was later repaired and became fully automated in 1994.

This structure is a protected cultural property that reflects Norway's maritime heritage and the importance of coastal navigation guides. The distinctive red cylinder with white stripe remains a recognizable landmark for those traveling along this coastline.

This beacon emits directional signals that can be seen from considerable distances at sea, helping guide vessel traffic along the coast. Since it operates automatically from a remote location, visitors should be aware that access may be limited and care must be taken when approaching the structure.

This beacon transmits the Morse code letter B as its identifying signal, setting it apart from other navigation lights. This distinctive code allows ship captains to quickly identify which specific lighthouse they are seeing from their vessel.
