Kråkenes Lighthouse

The lighthouse stands 10.5 meters tall on a rocky promontory at the northwestern tip of Vågsøy Island, marking the entrance to Stadhavet waters.

Built in 1906, the original structure was destroyed during World War II in 1945 by an Allied air raid, leading to the construction of the current building.

The lighthouse complex maintains Norwegian maritime traditions while offering visitors accommodations in the storm suite and storm house, enabling extended coastal experiences.

The light source reaches 42.5 meters above sea level with alternating white, red, and green signals every 6 seconds, visible up to 12.8 nautical miles away.

During storms, waves and sea spray directly hit the lighthouse windows, while its weather station continuously transmits data to the Meteorological Institute.
