Kvanhovden Lighthouse (Norwegian: Kvanhovden fyr) is a coastal lighthouse located in the municipality of Kinn in Vestland county, Norway. The lighthouse sits on the northwestern shore of the island of Hovden, at the southern entrance to the Frøysjøen strait.
It was first built in 1895 and it was automated in 1980.[1] [2]
The red 10m (30feet) tall wood tower is attached to the seaward end of a -story wood lighthouse keeper's house. The light sits at an elevation of about above sea level. The occulting light emits a white, red, or green light (depending on direction) once every six seconds. The site is accessible by boat, but there are no road connections to the lighthouse from the rest of the island.[3] [4]
