Værøy Lighthouse ( Norwegian: Værøy fyr) is a coastal lighthouse in Værøy Municipality in Nordland county, Norway. The lighthouse is built on a small peninsula southeast of the village of Sørland on the island of Værøya. It was constructed in 1880 and automated in 1984. The lighthouse has not been used since 2008. [1] [2]
The 15-metre (49 ft) tall square, stone tower was built in 1880. The red-topped tower was attached to a white lighthouse keeper's house. The 27,900- candela light can be seen for up to 12.5 nautical miles (23.2 km; 14.4 mi). The light was lit from dusk to dawn from 4 August until 2 May each year. It was not lit during the summer due to the midnight sun in the region. [1] [3] [4]
