History
The 15 m tall square, stone tower was built in 1880. The red-topped tower was attached to a white lighthouse keeper's house. The 27,900-candela light can be seen for up to 12.5 nmi. The light was lit from dusk to dawn from 4 August until 2 May each year. It was not lit during the summer due to the midnight sun in the region.
