Torbjørnskjær Lighthouse, Coastal lighthouse in Hvaler, Norway
The granite lighthouse rises 17.9 meters high on a skerry, featuring a square shape with unpainted walls and a red lantern at the top.
The lighthouse began operations in 1872 to mark the eastern entrance of the Oslofjord and underwent automation changes in 1990, eliminating the need for keepers.
The lighthouse represents maritime infrastructure development in Norway, serving as a reference point for navigation across generations of seafarers in Skagerrak.
Solar panels power the third-order Fresnel lens, which produces white flashes every 10 seconds visible from 15 nautical miles at sea.
The facility requires helicopter access for maintenance due to its position on a remote skerry with extremely difficult landing conditions by sea.
