Hatholmen Lighthouse, built in 1867, stands 7.2 metres tall on the small island of Hatholmen, about two kilometres south of Mandal in Lindesnes Municipality, Agder county, Norway. This white lighthouse with a red roof marks the western side of the Mannefjorden and is paired with the Ryvingen Lighthouse opposite, which guards the fjord's eastern entrance. Originally manned, it was automated in 1984. The beacon, elevated 19 metres above sea level, emits two white, red, or green flashes every ten seconds—visible for up to 8.62 nautical miles depending on direction. The lighthouse adjoins a white 1½-storey keeper's house and is accessible only by boat, though both structures now offer overnight accommodation to visitors.
