When hoteliers Knut and Line Flakk wanted a luminous landmark for Brosundet, they procured a hundred-year lease to a lighthouse owned by the City of Ålesund. Molja Lighthouse stands at the end of a jetty, a five-minute walk from our other rooms in Apotekergata. Measuring only three meters across, the 150-year-old Molja Lighthouse presented a delightful challenge to our interior architect and carpenters. Downstairs they made an elegant and amazingly compact bathroom. Upstairs is a circular bedroom with a custom-fitted bed. You’ll appreciate that when you lie in bed and peer west toward Godøya Island and the Atlantic, watching the Hurtigruten coastal steamer glide by. Today, Molja’s red-and-green beacon is automated but still guides ships into sheltered waters. It’s a thrilling experience, whether the setting midsummer sun has turned sea and sky golden, or an autumn storm is sending salty sprays high into the air.
