The Lille Færder lighthouse is located on the archipelago of Tristein, in the outer Oslofjord, within the municipality of Færder in Vestfold county, Norway. It was first lit in 1857 as a replacement for the former Store Færder Lighthouse. The lighthouse is the second-oldest in Norway and has been listed as a protected site since 1997.
The lighthouse has a rich history, with its construction dating back to the mid-19th century. It was built to guide ships through the treacherous waters of the Oslofjord, and its location on the Tristein archipelago made it an ideal spot for a lighthouse. The lighthouse's physical features are not extensively described, but it is known to be a significant aid to navigation in the area.
Today, the Lille Færder lighthouse is still standing, although its current status is not explicitly stated. The surrounding area has a continental climate that is heavily moderated by the ocean, with temperatures ranging from below freezing in winter to warm in summer. The lighthouse has been an important part of Norway's maritime history, and its preservation as a protected site ensures that it will continue to be an important landmark for generations to come.
