Keldsnor Fyr is a Danish lighthouse on the southeastern tip of the island of Langeland and it marks the transition from the Bay of Kiel to the Langelandsbelt for maritime shipping .
The 34 meter high lighthouse, named after a beach lake in the immediate vicinity, was built in 1905. He replaced Fakkebjerg Fyr, which had been in operation about one and a half kilometers to the northwest since 1806. Keldsnor Fyr went into service with a rotating Fresnel lens and a petroleum mantle burner and was electrified in 1948.
In 2006, Keldsnor Fyr was sold for 6 million Danish kroner to a private person who uses the listed building and the 7,285 m² property as a leisure area. The operation and maintenance of the beacon have remained in the hands of the state.
The Runddysse von Lunden is located near the Keldsnor Fyr.
