Gjæslingan Lighthouse (Norwegian: Gjæslingan fyr[1]) is a coastal lighthouse in Nærøysund Municipality in Trøndelag, Norway.[2]

Gjæslingan Lighthouse ca. 1900 – 1910

It was established in 1877, was reinforced in 1961 and automated in 1987.[3]

Gjæslingan lighthouse stands on the Haraldsøykråka islet which is part of the Sør-Gjæslingan island group on the north side of the Foldafjord. The white building consists of a 24.3-metre (80 ft) high red iron tower on a stone base. The white light flashes once every ten seconds, and it can be seen for about 14 nautical miles (26 km; 16 mi). The lighthouse also emits a "G" Racon signal.[4][5][6] [7]
