The moon above the lighthouse.
Høgstein lighthouse was commissioned in 1857. Work on the lighthouse station was extensive and took three years, as a breakwater had to be built on an exposed reef. At most 47 men worked on the lighthouse under the direction of Ole Gammelsen Mork from Dalsfjord. The 11 metres high lighthouse was built in carved stone and bricks from Holland. The lantern room was made by Nes Ironworks. Hoggstein was the last lighthouse built by Ole G. Mork. He applied and was appointed lighthouse keeper here in 1857, a position he held for almost 30 years. The lighthouse was unmanned from 1905. The old tower served as the foundation. The property of the lighthouse authorities on the island of Godøya was sold in 1907 and is still in private ownership. In 1928 the light intensity was increased and in 1953 the lamp was modernised.
