Ytre Møkkalasset fyrstasjon, Coastal lighthouse in Kilsund, Norway

The cast iron tower stands 17.2 meters tall on a small rocky outcrop, serving as a navigation aid at the entrance of Oksefjorden.

Established in 1888 by the Tverdalsøens Seaman's Association, the lighthouse guided vessels until 1986, then reopened in 2021 after extensive restoration.

Seven lighthouse keeper families maintained the station over 58 years, living in a small cabin inside the tower while keeping their main residence on Flosterøya.

The lighthouse remains operational with a light range of 11.8 nautical miles, featuring modern automated systems and mooring lines for visitor access.

During World War II, Allied aircraft attacked the structure, destroying wooden interior fittings, leading to repairs and subsequent automation in 1946.
