Slåtterøy Lighthouse

The cylindrical cast iron tower rises 25 meters above sea level with red paint and a single horizontal white band across its structure.

The lighthouse began operation in 1859, marking the western entrance to Selbjørnsfjorden and guiding vessels through Norwegian coastal waters for over 160 years.

This navigation aid stands as a protected cultural property, representing the maritime traditions and technological advancement of Norwegian coastal communities in the 19th century.

Access to the lighthouse requires a boat journey from Gisøy island, and visitors can arrange overnight stays or guided tours to learn about its functions.

The lighthouse emits the most powerful beam among Norwegian lighthouses, producing 5,180,000 candela with two white flashes every thirty seconds.
