Lindesnes lighthouse, Norway, 1995
The first fixed light in the country was lit at Lindesnes in 1656, but was put out again the same autumn, as there were complaints to the Admiralty in Copenhagen that it burned poorly. Not until 1725 was the beacon relit. That Lindesnes should have the first lighthouse in Norway was due to its vital importance for navigation. Lindesnes is on the southernmost point of the Norwegian mainland.

Lindesnes Lighthouse (Norwegian: Lindesnes fyrstasjon) is a coastal lighthouse on the southernmost tip of mainland Norway, the peninsula Neset. It is also the oldest lighthouse station in Norway, first lit in 1655.
Lindesnes fyr is a coastal lighthouse on the southernmost tip of mainland Norway, the peninsula Neset. It is also the oldest lighthouse station in Norway, first lit in 1655. To avoid confusion with the lighthouse at Skagen in Denmark, it was lit in conjunction with Markøy fyrstasjon. It has gone through several changes since it was built: In 1822, it was refitted with a coal lamp, and in 1854 a new lamp was installed with the current lens. The present cast iron tower dates from 1915.

Lindesnes Lighthouse (Norwegian: Lindesnes fyrstasjon) is a coastal lighthouse on the southernmost tip of mainland Norway, the peninsula Neset. It is also the oldest lighthouse station in Norway, first lit in 1655.
It has gone through several changes since it was built: In 1822, it was refitted with a coal lamp, and in 1854 a new lamp was installed with the current lens. The current cast iron tower was set up in 1915 and fitted with the old Fresnel lens. In 1920 the lighthouse station got its first fogsignal, a sirene. The fogsignal and its machinery is placed in a building beside the tower. During WW2 Lindesnes lightouse was taken over by the Germans. Being an important watchpoint the German built a little fortress with four guns and, after a while, a radarantenna. The traces from WW2 are visible as trenches, tunnels etc. In the 1950s the lighthousestation was electrified.

The oldest lighthouse station in Norway, first lit in 1655. Most know though for being the southernmost tip of mainland Norway
Storm on Lindesnes lighthouse today from a wet fototrip with Flickr friend eskedahl. One of few pictures taken on the top due too the bad weather. The sea water was blowing all the way to the lighthouse ! The waves was over 10m high ! It was a great view even with salt water in my eyes.
1 January '08 - Happy New Year! Sunset at the famous Lindesnes lighthouse at the southernmost tip of Norway. You really should have been there (but since you weren't I took a photo) Nice to know in this new year that even after the sun goes down, there's a light to guide us.

Lindesnes Lighthouse was first built in 1655 in Lindesnes, Vest-Agder, Norway. In 1822, it was refitted with a coal lamp, and in 1854 a new lamp was installed with the current lens. The current cast iron tower was set up in 1915 and fitted with the old Fresnel lens. In 1920 the lighthouse station got its first fog signal, a siren. The fog signal and its machinery is placed in a building beside the tower.
During World War II the lighthouse was taken over by the Germans. Being an important watch-point, the Germans built a small fortress with four guns and, after a while, a radar antenna. The traces from World War II are visible as trenches, tunnels, and other fortifications.
The lighthouse was fully automated in 2003.
