"Dyna Lighthouse (Norwegian: Dyna fyr) is a coastal lighthouse located on a reef south of Bygdøy, in the Oslofjord in the municipality of Oslo, Norway. It was established in 1875, and automated in 1956."

"1875. Active; focal plane 6 m (20 ft); white, red or green light depending on direction, occulting three times every 8 s. 12.5 m (41 ft) wood keeper's house with a lantern in one corner and a fog bell in a steeple overhead. Lighthouse painted white, lantern roof red. Erlend Bjørtvedt's photo is at right, Tim Ove has a nice photo, the Lighthouse Stamp Society has a wonderful closeup, Trabas has a good photo by Wöhrn, Werning also has a photo, Norwegian Wikipedia has an article with a photo, and Google has a satellite view. Surrounded by a stone seawall, this remarkable little lighthouse looks like a ship sailing down the Oslofjord. The keeper was also responsible for nearby lighthouses, including Koppernaglen and Kavringen. In 1992 the light station was renovated as a private banqueting facility, available for parties of 20-40 persons. Located on a rock about 200 m (220 yd) off the coast of Bygdøy about 3 km (2 mi) west of downtown Oslo. Accessible only by boat. Site open to guests with banquet reservations."
