Description

Litløy Lighthouse (Norwegian: Litløy fyr) is located on the island of Litløya in Bø municipality, Nordland county. It is part of the Vesterålen archipelago, which overlooks the nearby Lofoten islands.The light first shone at Litløy Lighthouse in 1912, and it was manned until 2003. However, the tiny island was a bustling fishing village until World War II, and from 1890 there were reported to be 890 seasonal fishing residents. Unfortunately, things went downhill for the village after the war, and in the 1950s, the last people moved out. A short cultural walk will show you the remains of the houses, some Iron Age graves and Stone Age cairns.
