The Trinity Church with its 87 meter high tower characterizes the cityscape. The two lighthouses Store and Lille Torungen outside Arendal were built at the same time in 1844. Two towers were built in order not to confuse Arendal with surrounding towns that only had one lighthouse. The Store Torungen lighthouse, together with its 'little brother', Lille Torungen, has great lighthouse historical significance for Arendal, the town of the two lighthouses. Both are listed monuments.
