Rivingen Lighthouse

Rivingen Lighthouse (Norwegian: Rivingen fyrstasjon) is a coastal lighthouse in Grimstad Municipality in Agder county, Norway. The lighthouse was first established in 1886 on a small island at the southern approach to the harbour of the town of Grimstad. The original lighthouse had an attached keeper's house, but in 1925 that lighthouse tower was closed and a new, much smaller tower was built about 23 metres (75 ft) to the north-northwest of the old tower. The light sits at an elevation of 12 metres (39 ft) above sea level on top of a 6-metre (20 ft) tall white, square, wooden tower with a red top. The light emits a flash of light every 5 seconds. The light is white, red, or green depending on the direction. The lights can be seen for up to 6.4 nautical miles (11.9 km; 7.4 mi).
