Gullholmen Lighthouse, Lighthouse in Moss Municipality, Norway.
The seven-meter tall white cylindrical tower features a red band around its middle and displays occluded white light with red, green, and white sectors flashing every six seconds.
Established in 1894 with an original wooden tower structure, the lighthouse was upgraded to its current concrete form in 1984 to withstand harsh maritime weather conditions.
The structure represents Norway's maritime heritage and serves as a symbol of the country's long-standing relationship with sea navigation and coastal safety traditions.
Located at coordinates 59°26′07″N 10°34′36″E with a focal height of sixteen meters above sea level, the lighthouse provides automated navigation assistance without requiring human operation.
The facility transitioned from kerosene lamps to modern electric lighting systems while maintaining its original navigational function for over 130 years of continuous operation.
