Knarrarósviti lighthouse and Islandic horse.

Knarrarósviti was the first lighthouse in Iceland to be built of reinforced concrete between 1938 and 1939. It is located on the shoreline close to the village of Selfoss. Its 26.2m height makes it the tallest building in south Iceland. The square white tower can be seen from a distance and as you get closer the small red dome housing the light glistens in the sunlight. A stark contrast to the black and white square block of the tower.
This is one of the more haunted lighthouses in Iceland with a history of suicide, but as to who haunts the tower there is less certainty. It certainly has an atmosphere as you take the staircase to the top and you can only imagine the feel of the place in a winter storm as the wind howls and the doors and windows take the full force.
