Molja Lighthouse
Molja fyr
A small white lighthouse at the end of the breakwater, looking back over the old town and Aksla mountain; a popular sunset photo spot.
Molja Lighthouse was built in 1907 at the end of the breakwater at the northern mouth of the Brosundet canal. It is a small white round tower, now converted into hotel rooms. A walk of about 10 minutes along Molovegen brings you there. From the lighthouse you can look back at the row of Art Nouveau buildings and the Aksla mountain behind them. On summer evenings at sunset the place is crowded, and the sea breeze is strong, so bring warm clothes. The Fishery Museum is nearby and can be visited on the way.
