Lindesnes Fyr

From http://www.fyr.no/fyra/lindesnes/lindesnes-e.html:

The first fixed light in the country was lit at Lindesnes in 1656, but was put out again the same autumn, as there were complaints to the Admiralty in Copenhagen that it burned poorly. Not until 1725 was the beacon relit. That Lindesnes should have the first lighthouse in Norway was due to its vital importance for navigation. Lindesnes is on the southernmost point of the Norwegian mainland, and the Naze is therefore a crucial landmark. When sailing to the Skaw and into the Cattegat the ships had to steer well clear of the Danish coast where shallow waters and treacherous currents have led to many wrecks. Much of the shipping therefore sailed close to the shore of southern Norway, where there were calm harbours and safe landfalls.
