Tennholmen Lighthouse (Norwegian: Tennholmen fyr) is a lighthouse in the municipality of Bodø in Nordland county, Norway. It is located in the Vestfjorden on one of the Tennholman islands, just west of the Givær islands, about 32 kilometres (20 mi) due west of the town of Bodø. The 14.4-metre (47 ft) tall light is mounted on the roof of a 1-1/2 story wood house where the keeper lived. The lighthouse is painted white and the light tower is red. The white light flashes once every 30 seconds.[1][2]
