The older lighthouse was replaced by a taller one in 1908, fell into disrepair and was rebuilt in 1985–1987.

Since then it has been under the care of the Sjóminjasafn Austurlands Maritime Museum and has been a listed building since 2006.

The taller tower has also served as a weather station since 1938 until today.

On the left the older lighthouse, on the right the new one that is still in operation.
