Lindesnes Lighthouse The coast of Norway is 100,915 kilometres (62,706 mi) long and there have been a total of 212 lighthouses along it, but no more than 154 have ever been operational at the same time. The first, Lindesnes Lighthouse , opened in 1655; the newest Lighthouse, Anda Lighthouse , was finished in 1932.
The first lighthouses were private operations, but in 1821 the government made the Channel and Harbor Inspector responsible for lighthouses in Norway. A dedicated Lighthouse Administration was set up in 1841. The lighthouses are today mostly automated and since 1974, run by the Norwegian Coastal Administration .
Two lightvessels had been operated along the Norwegian coast. "Enigheden" off Ålesund from 1856 was replaced with Lepsøyrev Lighthouse in 1879, and "Ildjernsflu" moored off Nesodden from 1914 until it was scrapped in 1968.
This list, while not complete, is sorted by location along the shipping lane from the border with Sweden in the south to Russia in the northeast. The Norwegian Coastal Administration maintains a total of 5,000 different navigational lights along the coast. This list covers only lighthouse stations.
