**Orehoved Lighthouse** is a lighthouse in [Orehoved](/source/Orehoved) on the north coast of [Falster](/source/Falster), [Denmark](/source/Denmark). It was built in 1895 on the northwest corner of the quay, replacing an earlier light which had simply been placed on a mast at the end of the railway pier. A blue gas burner was installed in 1912. In 1933, a third storey was added to the tower, bringing it up to a height of 11 metres (36 ft).[2][1]
