This imposing structure stands on the Hammer granite massif at the northern tip of the island.
The lighthouse was built from the same granite rock from the vast Hammeren plateau on which it stands, offering visitors an impressive sight.
Because of its massive construction, it is also called Store Fyr, or Big Lighthouse.
The round lighthouse was put into operation in 1871. Shortly
after its construction, it became clear that the lighthouse's location was not optimal.
Low-hanging clouds and fog made it temporarily unusable for shipping.
