Sula lighthouse (Norwegian: Sula fyr) is a lighthouse on the island of Sula in the municipality of Frøya in Sør-Trøndelag county, Norway.
History
The lighthouse was originally built here in 1793 and another in 1804. The current tower was built in 1904. It is part of a series of lighthouses along the municipality of Frøya including the Finnvær lighthouse, Vingleia lighthouse, and Halten lighthouse. The octagonal concrete tower is lit from July 21 until May 16 each year. It is not lit during the summer due to the midnight sun of the region. The flashing white light can be seen for up to 18 nautical miles (33 km; 21 mi).
