Grip Lighthouse, Lighthouse in Kristiansund Municipality, Norway.

The granite and cast iron tower rises 44 meters above the North Sea, standing on Bratthårskollen islet north of Gripholmen island.

Constructed between 1885 and 1888, the lighthouse provided essential navigation guidance for vessels along the Norwegian coast until its automation in 1977.

The lighthouse forms part of a protected cultural heritage ensemble that includes the historic Grip fishing village and its 15th-century stave church.

Visitors can reach the lighthouse via daily boat services from Kristiansund during summer months, with tours exploring the surrounding archipelago.

The structure combines a red cast iron tower mounted on a white granite base, making it Norway's second tallest lighthouse.
