Krakenes lighthouse on Vagsoy Island, Sogn og Fjordane, Norway


The Kråkenes lighthouse on Vågsøy island is the most weather exposed lighthouse on the Norwegian coastline. Originally built in 1906, it was rebuilt around 1950 after being bombed in World War II. It has now become a popular tourist attraction and rooms are rented out as B&B. It is also a weather station.
