The lighthouse was established in 1828 and closed in 1984. The lighouse master's house is from 1938, his assistant's house from 1957-58. There is an annex, machinery shed and boathouse. Tungenes Lighthouse is protected and restored to its 1930s appearance. The lighthouse now serves as a fine arts and cultural centre. Concerts with both Norwegian and international artists are regularly arranged here. The café serves good coffee food with a view on the purchase, and on the second floor above the café is the Oskar Sørreime collection. There is also a lighthouse museum and maritime museum on site. Open: daily 12-4pm from mid June to mid August. Sundays 12-4pm the rest of the year (February to November).
Maintenance at the lighthouse
In the spring and summer of 2024, important conservation work will be carried out on the lighthouse building at Tungenes fyr. The maintenance work will ensure that the lighthouse is preserved in a safe and sound manner. Due to this work, the lighthouse will unfortunately be inaccessible during the work, and the lighthouse tower will also be covered. However, the lighthouse café and surrounding area will be accessible and open as normal.
