Hellesøy Lighthouse

Hellesøy Lighthouse, located in Norway, is a guiding beacon situated on a small island to aid maritime navigation along the coast. Built in 1859, it features a traditional stone tower with a lantern that emits a powerful flashing light, visible from many miles at sea. Its primary purpose is to warn ships of dangerous shallow waters and coastline hazards, ensuring safe passage. The lighthouse is automated, operated remotely, and also serves as a historic landmark, symbolizing maritime safety and Norway's rich navigational heritage.
