Kaura Lighthouse (Norwegian: Kaura fyr) is a coastal lighthouse in the municipality of Åfjord in Trøndelag county, Norway. The 22m (72feet) tall tower is located on the small island of Kaura in the mouth of the Brandsfjorden about west of the village of Bessaker and about northwest of the village of Roan. The lighthouse was built in 1931 and automated in 1959.[1]
The red, cylindrical, cast iron tower has one white stripe around it and a white, stone foundation. The light sits at the top, at an elevation of above sea level. The 4,050-candela light emits two flashes every 10 seconds, flashing white, red, or green depending on direction. It can be seen for 10.8nmi. There is a concrete boathouse on the shore of the small island that is connected to the lighthouse by a 40m (130feet) long concrete bridge.[2] [3]
