Andenes Lighthouse
Andenes fyr
A 40-meter red cast-iron lighthouse completed in 1859, the landmark of Andenes town. In summer, visitors can climb it for views over the sea and town.
The lighthouse stands beside Andenes harbor, and its red tower stands out clearly against the grey-blue sea and sky. In summer (roughly June through August), guided tours climb about 148 steps to the top, where you can see the town, the harbor, and the distant mountains. In winter the interior is closed, but photographers often use the lighthouse as a foreground for the northern lights. Next to it is the whale-watching pier. The Whale Museum, "The Whale," under construction, is scheduled to open in 2027.
