Tungenes Lighthouse, known as Tungenes fyr in Norwegian, is a historical coastal lighthouse situated in the municipality of Randaberg, in Rogaland County, Norway. This former lighthouse is a significant part of Norway's maritime history and offers a unique insight into the country's coastal heritage.
The Tungenes Lighthouse was first lit in 1828, a period when the fishing and herring trade was on the rise, necessitating a safer entrance to the port of Stavanger via the Byfjorden. This historical context adds to the significance of the lighthouse as a symbol of Norway's maritime past.
Today, the Tungenes Lighthouse is a protected site affiliated with the Norwegian Lighthouse History Association (Norsk Fyrhistorisk Forening). It serves as a lighthouse museum and a fine arts cultural center, providing visitors with a rich cultural experience. Additionally, there is a cafe in one of the buildings, offering a place for visitors to relax and enjoy the surroundings.
