See Knarrarós Lighthouse, Iceland
The Knarraros lighthouse is located on the south coast of Iceland. The square, two-staged light tower was built in 1938-1939 and was Iceland's first lighthouse built of reinforced concrete. The lighthouse was designed by Guðjón Samúelsson (1887–1950), state architect of Iceland. The tower is 26.2 meters (86 feet) high and unpainted.
The site is open to visitors but the tower is closed.
There are black panels arrayed vertically between the windows that create the appearance that the tower has a black vertical stripe on each side. The design is a blend of the functionalism andart nouveau styles. The light characteristic is one 3 second long flash every 30 seconds. The lighthouse is located about 5 km (3.1 mi) from the town of Stokkseyri.
