Børøyholmen Lighthouse (Norwegian: Børøyholmen fyrstasjon) is a lighthouse in the municipality of Hitra in Sør-Trøndelag county, Norway. The lighthouse is located in the Trondheimsleia in the entrance to the Kråkvågfjorden on a tiny island off the shore of the village of Hestvika on Hitra island. The old lighthouse was closed in 1970 and a new automated lighthouse was built alongside it.[1]
The 10-metre (33 ft) lighthouse has an occulting light with white, red, and green lights. The light can be seen for about 10 nautical miles (19 km; 12 mi).[2]
