Halten Lighthouse, Stone lighthouse in Frøya, Norway.
Halten Lighthouse is a stone navigation tower on an island off the Norwegian coast near Frøya. The structure features a white body with two black horizontal stripes and stands approximately 30 meters tall.
The tower was originally built in 1853 at a different location, then taken apart and rebuilt at its current site in 1875. This relocation was necessary to better serve maritime traffic in this sea region.
This lighthouse is a vital navigation marker for ships traveling along the Norwegian coast and represents the maritime traditions of the region. Sailors have relied on its signal for generations to find their way safely through these waters.
The light is visible from great distance at sea and helps sailors navigate in this region. The tower itself sits on a remote island and is therefore typically viewable only from the water.
The tower transmits a special radar signal that helps ships quickly identify its position with precision. This technical feature makes it particularly valuable as a navigation aid for modern vessels.
