Skrova Lighthouse (Norwegian: Skrova fyr) is a coastal lighthouse in Vågan Municipality in Nordland county, Norway. It is located on a small skerry southwest of the island of Skrova which is in the Vestfjorden south of the island of Austvågøya.[1][2]

History

[edit | edit source]

Skrova Lighthouse was designed by Carl Wiig in 1920, and a team of carpenters from Volda was hired to build it. It was first established in 1922 and it was automated in 2005. It was listed as a protected site in 1999. The 24.5-metre (80 ft) tall tower is red with two white horizontal stripes. The light on top gives two white flashes every 45 seconds at an elevation of 41 metres (135 ft). The 2,298,000-candela light can be seen for up to 18 nmi (33 km; 21 mi).[3][4]
