The Real Thing |
This is a model of the Lindesnes lighthouse on the southern cape of the Norwegian main land. The Lindesnes lighthouse site is now a living museum and culture center with around 80.000 visitors every year.
The first official lighthouse on the Norwegian coast was installed here in 1656 but was soon closed. A new light service was started in 1725 and improved from time to time. A coal fire in glass lantern was erected in 1822. The coal fire was in 1854 changed for a lens apparatus, which in 1915 was moved to the newly built and still working cast iron tower.
The Lindesnes lighthouse museum was founded in 1992 and the lighthouse site listed as a monument in 1993. The lighthouse was officially automated in 2003, but as an official help to the museum, the Norwegian Coast Office still pays for two light house keepers as parts of the museums staff. - Bildrum
The Lighthouse - at night |
O primeiro farol oficial da Noruega foi instalado nesta ilha em 1656, mas logo deixou de funcionar. Um novo farol foi feito em 1725 e aperfeiçoado de tempos em tempos. Um farol de carvão com lentes de vidro foi erigido em 1822. Este farol foi substituído em 1854 por por um mais moderno, que em 1915 foi mudado de sua base de pedra para uma outra base, essa feita de aço, que continua funcionando até os dias atuais. O museu do farol foi fundado em 1992 e o farol foi listado como monumento nacional em 1993.
