Kya Lighthouse, Heritage lighthouse in Osen, Norway.

The cylindrical red lighthouse tower rises 23 meters above the small island of Sønnaholmen, constructed from cast iron with a stone foundation.

The lighthouse, established in 1920, underwent automation in 1958, eliminating the need for permanent lighthouse keepers at this remote location.

The designation as a Norwegian heritage site reflects the maritime traditions and engineering achievements of early 20th century coastal navigation systems.

Access to the lighthouse requires boat transportation, with the white light visible up to 10 nautical miles and flashing every 10 seconds.

The lighthouse remains unlit from May 12 to July 25 due to the natural illumination provided by the midnight sun phenomenon.
