Ulvesund Lighthouse (Norwegian: Ulvesund fyr) is a coastal lighthouse located in Vågsøy Municipality in Sogn og Fjordane county, Norway. It is located on the mainland coast along the Ulvesundet strait.
History
It was first lit in 1870 and automated in 1985. The lighthouse is owned by the Norwegian Coastal Administration, and is used as cultural cafe and lodging house.
The 10-metre (33 ft) tall, slender, round, cylindrical, concrete tower is painted white and the lantern roof is red. The light can be seen for up to 10.7 nautical miles (19.8 km; 12.3 mi), and it emits a white, red, or green light, depending on direction, occulting three times every 10 seconds.
