Alnes Lighthouse, Heritage lighthouse in Giske Municipality, Norway

The lighthouse features a square tower with white exterior and two horizontal red bands, reaching a height of 26.5 meters above sea level.

Built in 1876 to replace the original 1852 structure, the lighthouse provided essential navigation assistance to fishing vessels along the Norwegian western coast.

The lighthouse keeper's residence now functions as a museum displaying local maritime artifacts and works from Norwegian artists throughout its five floors.

Located 30 minutes from Ålesund by car, the lighthouse welcomes visitors from May to October with access to its tower, gallery, and exhibition spaces.

The circular balcony at the top of the lighthouse provides a 360-degree view of the North Sea, surrounding mountains, and neighboring Godøy island.
