At the far southern tip of Norway, where the Skagerrak meets the North Sea, stands Lindesnes Lighthouse—a historic sentinel marking the nation’s edge. First lit in 1656 and rebuilt in 1915, its white cast-iron tower with a red top rises above the rugged coast, casting a powerful beam visible for nearly 20 nautical miles. Today, the site is both a working lighthouse and a museum, with exhibitions on maritime history, wartime fortifications, and the life of its keepers. Visitors can climb to the light chamber, explore tunnels carved into the rock, or even stay overnight in the old keeper’s apartment, waking to sweeping views of sea and sky. More than a navigational aid, Lindesnes is a meeting point of nature, history, and human perseverance at the very edge of Norway.
