Færder Lighthouse, Coastal lighthouse in Færder, Norway

The red cast iron tower with a white horizontal stripe stands 43 meters tall at the entrance of the Oslofjord on Tristein archipelago.

The lighthouse began operations in 1857 as a replacement for the Store Færder Lighthouse, marking a significant advancement in maritime navigation technology.

The lighthouse structure represents Norwegian maritime engineering methods of the 19th century and remains an essential part of coastal heritage.

The light beam reaches 19 nautical miles across the water with an intensity of 3,570,000 candela at a focal height of 47 meters.

The structure serves as both a traditional lighthouse and a differential GPS station, combining historical architecture with modern navigation technology.
