Svenner Lighthouse (Norwegian: Svenner fyr) is a coastal lighthouse in the municipality of Larvik in Vestfold og Telemark, Norway. The lighthouse is located in the Svenner archipelago, about 7 kilometres (4.3 mi) to the southeast of the town of Stavern, near the entrance to the Larviksfjorden. The lighthouse was first lit in 1874. The current tower was built in 1900. The lighthouse was listed as a protected site in 1997, and was automated in 2003.[1][2][3]
