Slettnes Lighthouse is the northernmost lighthouse on the European mainland. Built in 1905, the tower is 39 meters tall and the only cast-iron lighthouse in Finnmark.
During World War II, it was completely destroyed by German troops in 1944. After the war, it was rebuilt until 1948 (wiki).

A cozy café and restaurant open daily from 12 noon to 8 pm in the summer (until August 29th in 2025). They serve fish, reindeer, and sweets. Souvenirs are also available, and the key to the lighthouse is available for 60 kroner. 142 steps lead up to the lamp.
