💡 Stangholmen Lighthouse

Stangholmen Lighthouse is a coastal lighthouse in Risør Municipality in Agder county, Norway. The lighthouse marks the channel from the Skagerrak, through several islands to the mainland town of Risør which sits at the end of a peninsula between the Søndeledfjorden and the Sandnesfjorden. The lighthouse was first built in 1855 and in 1959, a new, automated light was constructed which is still in use to this day. The light is located on the small island of Stangholmen. It is only accessible by boat. The site is open to the public but the buildings are not.
