Along with Skagens Odde at the northernmost point of Denmark, Lindesnes was the most important landmark for navigation in and out through the Skagerrak.
- 5. Lighthouse station The cast iron tower at Lindesnes, at 16.1 metres, is not particularly high, but even so, the height of the light is 50.1 metres above sea level and it can be seen for 20 nautical miles (37 km) in clear weather. The lens is one of the largest known, a so called first order lens of French manufacture. Under extreme conditions the sea can wash over both the engine house and the tower.

Exhibitions FYRENES verden Med denne utstillingen Ăžnsker vi bĂ„de Ă„ vise fyrenes mangfold og Ă„ understreke at hvert enkelt fyr er en del av et verdensomspennende navigasjons- og kommunikasjonsnettverk: det fĂžrste âworld wide webâ Vi vil ogsĂ„ pĂ„stĂ„ at fyrene tilhĂžrer verdens mest vennligsinnede byggverk: De er utelukkende reist for Ă„ tjene andre, for Ă„ redde skip, verdier og menneskeliv, og de er blitt bygget pĂ„ noen av klodens mest vĂŠrbitte og utilgjengelige steder om sikkerheten for de sjĂžfarende har krevet det Kanskje er det derfor mange av oss ogsĂ„ opplever fyrene som vakre? verdens RAMINE FYR DIE WELT DER LEUCHTĂRME DIE LEUCHTTĂRME DER WELT Mit dieser Ausstellung möchten wir die Vielfalt von LeuchttĂŒrmen aufzeigen und hervorleben, dass jeder Leuchtturm ein Teil des weltweiten Navigations â und Kommunikationsnetzes ist: das erste âworld wide webâ. Wir finden eigentlich, dass LeuchttĂŒrme zu den sozialsten Bauwerken gehören: Sie sind ausschliesslich erbaut zum Nutzen anderer: um Schiffe und GĂŒter und Menschenleben zu retten, erbaut auf den wetterhĂ€rtesten und unzugĂ€nglichtsten Orten, wenn die Sicherheit der Seefahrer es erforderte. Kann es sein, dass wir sie deshalb so schön finden? Courdouan ist vielleicht der berĂŒhmteste aller LeuchttĂŒrme. Er wurde 1611 vom französischen König Henri III erbaut, um die wichtige Weinausfuhr von Bordeaux zu sichern. Cordouan ist bekannt als der Leuchtturm des Königs und der König der LeuchttĂŒrme, oder einfach âdas Versailles des Meeresâ. Hier wurde 1822 auch die erste Leuchtturmlinse der Welt montiert. THE WORLD OF LIGHTHOUSES LIGHTHOUSES OF THE WORLD In this exhibition we hope to tell not only about the variety of lighthouses, but also to point out that every single one is a part of a worldwide navigational and communication network: the first âworld wide webâ We also hope to convince you that lighthouses are among the worldâs most friendly constructions: They have been built only to serve mankind, to save ships, cargoes and human lives, Cordouan er kanskje verdens mest berĂžmte fyr. Det ble opprettet av franskekongen Henri III i 1611 for Ă„ sikre den viktige vineksporten fra Bordeaux. Cordouan er kjent som âKongens fyr og fyrenes kongeâ, eller rett og slett âHavets Versaillesâ Her ble ogsĂ„ verdens fĂžrste fyrlinse montert i 1822.

Is that the reason that so many of us experience lighthousesas being beautiful? Cordouan is perhaps the worldâs most famous lighthouse. It was built for the French king Henri III in 1611 to safeguard the important export of wine from Bordeaux. Cordouan is known as âThe Kingâs lighthouse and the king of lighthousesâ, or, more simply, as the âVersailles of the Seasâ. This is where the worldâs first lighthouse lens was installed in 1822. 15.06.11 13.25 - IBaugen - Bakrommet - Fyrgryta LINDESNES FYR 9

English aeroplanes torpedoed the German cargo ship M/S Palatia, without knowing that it was full of Russian prisoners of war. Almost a thousand men died. A monument has been set up to remember this tragic event. PALATIA LINDESNES FYR 19
