Nestled in the minuscule fishing village of Alnes on Godøya island, just a short distance west of Alesund, stands the picturesque Alnes Lighthouse. Built in 1876, this lighthouse offers more than just a beacon for ships; it houses art exhibits in the old lightkeeper’s quarters, showcasing works by local and national artists. Visitors can climb to the top of the lighthouse to enjoy sweeping views of the sea, making it a rewarding stop for both history and nature enthusiasts.
