Lindesnes Lighthouse, Maritime lighthouse in Lindesnes Municipality, Norway.

The 16-meter white cast iron and granite structure marks the southernmost point of mainland Norway, directing ships through coastal waters.

Established in 1656 as Norway's first lighthouse, the current tower dates from 1915 and operated with a manual foghorn until 1967.

The lighthouse museum, established in 1992, exhibits maritime artifacts and documents the evolution of Norwegian coastal navigation through centuries.

Visitors can access the lighthouse daily, climb to the top for panoramic views, and explore the museum's educational displays about maritime history.

Two permanent lighthouse keepers continue their traditional duties at this location, making it the last staffed lighthouse station in Norway.
