Utvær Lighthouse, Maritime lighthouse in Solund, Norway
The cylindrical red tower rises 31 meters above sea level, with a light reaching 45 meters high and visible 35 kilometers into the ocean.
The cast iron lighthouse began operating in 1900 and survived World War II damage in 1945, when multiple surrounding buildings were burned during an air raid.
The lighthouse appears on Norwegian 50-kroner banknotes and marks the transition point between the North Sea and Norwegian Sea for maritime navigation.
Guided lighthouse tours depart from Hardbakke every Saturday between late June and mid-August, with a journey time of 50 minutes by boat.
Located on Norway's westernmost island group, the site contains marks where Vikings sharpened their swords and remnants of a chapel from 1718.
