The Buholmråsa Lighthouse is a round cast-iron beacon standing 23.5 metres tall on the small island of Sønnaholmen in Svesfjorden, Osen Municipality, Trøndelag county, Norway. Built in 1917 and designated a cultural property, the red tower with a single white stripe sits at an elevation of 38 metres above sea level and can be seen for up to 19.3 nautical miles. Its 140,400-candela light emits white, red, or green beams depending on direction, occulting once every six seconds, while a racon broadcasts the morse code letter B. The station was damaged during World War II air raids and was automated in 1994. The Kya Lighthouse lies approximately 13.5 kilometres northwest across open water.
