Villa Lighthouse (Norwegian: Villa fyrstasjon) is a lighthouse that is located on the island of Villa in the Folda sea in the municipality of Flatanger in Nord-Trøndelag county, Norway. The 15-metre (49 ft) tall tower was built of granite, soapstone, and brick in a hexagonal shape. The lighthouse was built in 1839 and was the first lighthouse in Norway that was built north of the Trondheimsfjord. It was one of the six coal-fired lighthouses built in Norway during the 1800s, and it is the best preserved of them all. In 1859, it was upgraded to burn liquid fuels. When the lighthouse closed in 1890, the lens was moved to the Nordøyan Lighthouse.[1]
