Myken Lighthouse, Lighthouse in Rødøy, Norway

The wooden lighthouse stands at 12.5 meters tall on the small island of Jutøya, part of the Myken island group in Nordland county.

The lighthouse began operating in 1918 as a navigation aid along the Norwegian coast and underwent automation modifications in 1975 to improve efficiency.

The structure represents traditional Norwegian maritime architecture and maintains its status as an official heritage site, preserving regional nautical history.

The light operates from August through May with a range of 16.8 nautical miles, emitting white, red, or green signals every six seconds.

During May through July, the lighthouse suspends its illumination due to the natural phenomenon of midnight sun in the region.
