Sletringen Lighthouse, Concrete lighthouse in Frøya, Norway

The 45-meter tall lighthouse features a cylindrical tower with red paint, two horizontal white stripes, and a white base on Frøya island.

Constructed in 1899, Sletringen Lighthouse operated with manual control until 1993 when automated systems took over the navigational operations.

The lighthouse stands as Norway's tallest navigational structure, representing the nation's commitment to maritime safety along its extensive coastline.

The lighthouse remains operational from July through May, utilizing a first-order Fresnel lens that projects light visible up to 18.5 nautical miles.

The tower contains two separate light sources: the main beacon at 46 meters and a secondary light positioned 31.5 meters up the structure.
