Draft 2 says both lighthouses were later replaced, which is wrong: the source says Lille Torungen still stands, so only Store Torungen was replaced. Draft 1 is also wrong in saying Store Torungen "no longer stands in its original form" as a fact about the tower's identity; the source says it was replaced over time, which is fine, but the source does not say its present tower is not original in form, so I'll stay close to the source wording. Draft 3 is grounded, though "one of a pair of twin lighthouses" is fine and "protected as cultural property" matches the heritage status.
Store Torungen Lighthouse is a cast-iron coastal lighthouse on the island of Store Torungen in Arendal Municipality, Agder, Norway. Built in 1844 as a twin of nearby Lille Torungen, it is 34.3 metres tall and marks the approach from the Skagerrak to Arendal. Over time it was replaced, and the site is reachable only by boat.
