About
Saltholmen Lighthouse (Norwegian: Saltholmen fyrstasjon) is a lighthouse in Lillesand Municipality in Agder county, Norway. It is located on a small island off the coast about 2 kilometres (1.2 mi) southeast of the town of Lillesand. There has been a lighthouse here since 1882. The island (and lighthouse) are named Saltholmen (lit. 'Salty Islet'). This name comes from the salt extraction industry established by Hans Nielsen Hauge that once was located there. The lighthouse is only accessible by boat and the site is open, but the building is not open to the public.
