Litløy Lighthouse, Coastal lighthouse at Litløya island, Vesterålen archipelago, Norway.

The nine-meter stone lighthouse stands on an isolated island, overlooking the Atlantic Ocean and the mountains of the Lofoten archipelago.

Constructed in 1912 to guide maritime traffic, the lighthouse remained staffed until 2003 when automation technology replaced the need for permanent keepers.

The structure represents Norway's maritime navigation heritage, contributing to the safety of fishing vessels that form the backbone of local communities.

Access requires a boat journey and climbing 300 steps from the shoreline, with accommodations available in both the tower suite and keeper's residence.

The lighthouse now functions with solar power, emitting one white flash every ten seconds that reaches twelve nautical miles across the northern waters.
