Skrova Lighthouse

The red cylindrical tower with two white horizontal stripes rises 24 meters above a small skerry near the island of Skrova in Vestfjorden.

The Norwegian Coast Directorate replaced the original 1856 lighthouse with the current cast iron structure in 1922, marking a shift in construction methods.

The lighthouse includes eight double bedrooms, a restaurant, and facilities for artists, including recording studios and creative workshops.

Travelers reach the site through a 2-hour flight from Oslo to Bodø, followed by a 10-minute RIB service from Svolvær.

The light at the top reaches an intensity of 2,298,000 candela and produces two white flashes every 45 seconds with visibility extending 18 nautical miles.
