Odderøya Lighthouse, Historic lighthouse in Kristiansand, Norway

The Odderøya lighthouse stands on the western peninsula of Kristiansand harbor, featuring a wooden main structure with an integrated tower in its gable wall.

Established in 1832 alongside Oksøy and Grønningen lighthouses, this maritime structure guided vessels through the navigation channel into Kristiansand harbor.

The Vest-Agder Museum preserves the lighthouse as maritime heritage, conducting weekly guided tours to share Norwegian navigation history with visitors.

Access to the lighthouse is available via a gravel path from Mannskapsmessa, with public openings on Sundays from 12:00 to 16:00 during summer months.

The station retains a 700-kilogram fog bell on its gable wall, representing the only remaining original installation of this type in Norway.
