Lindesnes Lighthouse
Lindesnes Lighthouse marks the southernmost point of mainland Norway, where the North Sea and Skagerrak meet in famously rough waters that have made this stretch of coast treacherous for centuries - the current lighthouse dates to 1915, but a light has stood here since 1656, one of Norway's oldest lighthouse sites. A visitor centre and small museum cover the maritime and lighthouse-keeping history.
The appeal is largely about the exposed, wind-battered setting itself - open ocean on multiple sides, dramatic in rough weather - as much as the lighthouse structure, making it a worthwhile stop for anyone drawn to Norway's rugged southern coastline.
