About
Gjæslingan Lighthouse (Norwegian: Gjæslingan fyr) is a coastal lighthouse in Nærøysund Municipality in Trøndelag, Norway.
It was established in 1877, was reinforced in 1961 and automated in 1987.
Gjæslingan lighthouse stands on the Haraldsøykråka islet which is part of the Sør-Gjæslingan island group on the north side of the Foldafjord. The white building consists of a 24.3-metre (80 ft) high red iron tower on a stone base. The white light flashes once every ten seconds, and it can be seen for about 14 nautical miles (26 km; 16 mi). The lighthouse also emits a "G" Racon signal.
