Glåpen Lighthouse (Norwegian: Glåpen fyr) is a coastal lighthouse in the municipality of Moskenes in Nordland county, Norway. It was first established in 1857. In 1985, the main lighthouse was closed and replaced by a small automated 10-metre (33 ft) tall light on top of a concrete pillar, just to the south of the old lighthouse building. The occulting light flashes red or white depending on the direction. The tower is painted white with one black horizontal band and the roof on the light is red.[1][2][3][4]
