Nyholmen Lighthouse

Nyholmen Lighthouse is a coastal lighthouse in Bodø Municipality in Nordland county, Norway. It is located on the extreme southwestern tip of a small island in the northern part of the harbour for the town of Bodø.
The light sits atop a tall white, fiberglass tower. The light sits at an elevation of above sea level. It flashes white, red, or green light, occulting once every six seconds.

History

The original lighthouse was built in 1875 and it consisted of a tall octagonal cast iron tower attached to the front corner of a stone, white, -story keeper's house. That light was discontinued in 1907 when a new tower was built closer to the southwestern tip of the island. The new light was automated on the top of a concrete tower. The old lighthouse was transferred to the Society for the Preservation of Ancient Norwegian Monuments in 1987. In 2017, the old 110-year-old concrete light tower was taken down and replaced with a similar fiberglass tower.
