Nyholmen Lighthouse

Nyholmen Lighthouse (Nyholmen fyr, formerly called Bodø fyr) is a coastal lighthouse in Bodø Municipality in Nordland county, Norway. It is located on the extreme southwestern tip of a small island (connected to the mainland by a causeway) in the northern part of the harbour for the town of Bodø.

The light sits atop a 7.4 m tall white, fiberglass tower. The light sits at an elevation of 7.6 m above sea level. It flashes white, red, or green light (depending on direction), occulting once every six seconds.

History
The original lighthouse was built in 1875 and it consisted of a 5 m tall octagonal cast iron tower attached to the front corner of a stone, white, $1 1/2$-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.
