Oksøy Lighthouse

The cylindrical cast iron tower rises 36 meters above the islet of Oksøy, featuring a white exterior marked with two red horizontal bands.

First established in 1832, the lighthouse underwent reconstruction in 1900 to enhance maritime navigation at the western entrance of Kristiansand's shipping channel.

The lighthouse stands as a protected cultural heritage property, representing Norway's commitment to maritime safety and navigation through the generations.

From April 15 to July 15, access to the surrounding area is limited due to bird sanctuary regulations, with visitors permitted only on the designated road.

The lighthouse emits two white flashes every 45 seconds and includes a racon signal that transmits the Morse code letter O for additional navigation assistance.
