Halten Lighthouse
The 29.5-metre (97 ft) tall stone lighthouse tower is painted white and it has two black horizontal stripes. The light sits at an elevation of 39 metres (128 ft). The light emits a white flash of light every four seconds. It has a luminous intensity of 1,080,000 candela and a visibility of up to 17.5 nautical miles (32.4 km; 20.1 mi).
The lighthouse tower was originally planned to build a twin-tower lighthouse with the Lista Lighthouse, but the technical development of lighthouses made this unnecessary so it was dismantled and rebuilt here. A lot of the original interior and exterior are preserved on the lighthouse and the station has been declared a historic preservation site. The station is still in use by the Norwegian Coastal Administration as a base station.
