Tungenes Lighthouse

The square white structure with a red roof stands 12 meters tall at the northern end of Jæren, marking the entrance to Stavanger harbor.

Built in 1828 to guide fishermen into Stavanger harbor, the lighthouse operated until 1984 when it was replaced by an automated beacon on Brakjen island.

The Maritime Collection within the museum documents the maritime practices of Jæren fishermen and their use of sea resources since the 19th century.

From July to November, visitors can explore the lighthouse complex, which includes four buildings: the main tower, outbuildings, and the keeper's house.

The Sørreime Collection displays works from local artist Oskar Sørreime, while exhibitions show the living conditions of lighthouse keepers until 1937.
