Stone Cross

"Steinkorset" on Kvitsøy has been standing for at least a thousand years. Some say it was put there by English missionaries in the 900s while others claim it was raised by Erling Skjalgsson and Olav Haraldsson, Viking chiefs, in 1016.

Kvitsøy

The modern grey building next to the lighthouse is the Kvitsøy Trafikksentral or Ocean Traffic Centre, opened in 2000. The whole coast of south-west Norway is supervised by radar from this centre, and it also provides the naval pilots for the whole region.
