Jomfruland Lighthouse

Jomfruland Lighthouse is a white cast iron tower standing on a Norwegian island with a distinctive red roof. The complex includes the main beacon structure alongside former keeper quarters and support buildings that served the working lighthouse station.

The lighthouse began as a brick structure built in 1839 on the island to guide maritime traffic. A major renovation in 1939 transformed it into the cast iron tower that stands today.

The lighthouse complex includes the former keeper's residence, representing the evolution of Norwegian maritime navigation through different technological periods.

The island is reached by ferry from the mainland, which operates on a set schedule throughout the year. Plan your visit around these ferry times, as connections are limited and weather can affect service.

The second order Fresnel lens in the tower produces a specific pattern of continuous white light with additional flashes every 15 seconds.
