Andenes Lighthouse, Heritage lighthouse in Andøy Municipality, Norway
The cylindrical tower rises 40 meters high with red cast iron plates, reinforced by 90,000 bricks to withstand northern Norwegian weather conditions.
The lighthouse construction in 1859 followed maritime tragedies, including the 1821 Storskaden incident where 30 fishermen lost their lives at sea.
The Andøy Museum maintains the lighthouse and presents an exhibition about Norwegian maritime navigation history through artifacts and photographs.
Visitors need to climb 148 steps across nine floors to reach the observation balcony, which provides views extending 20 kilometers in all directions.
The lighthouse remains inactive from April to August due to the midnight sun phenomenon, making it unnecessary to operate during these bright summer months.
