Grasøyane Lighthouse (Norwegian: Grasøyane fyr) is a coastal lighthouse in Ulstein Municipality in Møre og Romsdal, Norway. It sits on the small island of Grasøya, about northwest of the island of Hareidlandet on which Ulstein Municipality is located and it is east of Runde Lighthouse.
The lighthouse was first established in 1886, it was damaged during World War II, rebuilt in 1950, and automated in 1986. The lighthouse was listed as a protected site in 1999.[1] [2]
The red and white lighthouse is tall and the light sits at an elevation of above sea level. The tower is round and made out of cast iron. This was the last cast iron tower built in Norway (and perhaps the last anywhere). The light emits a white, red or green light (depending on direction) occulting twice every 8 seconds. The light station was automated on its 100th anniversary in 1986.[3] [4]
