The first lighthouse in the area was built in 1878, but sadly it wasn't to last. A severe earthquake in Valahnúkur at the beginning of the 20th century caused it to topple into the sea. A new 26m tall lighthouse was built a little further inland on Bæjarfell Hill in 1908. It stands at 69m above sea level.
