Hendanes Lighthouse, Coastal lighthouse in Kinn Municipality, Norway

The octagonal wooden lighthouse tower reaches 12 meters in height and features a red lantern positioned at 48.5 meters above sea level.

The Hendanes Lighthouse began its maritime service in 1914 and transitioned to automated operations in 1952, marking a shift in navigation technology.

The lighthouse structure includes a keeper's residence built into the mountainside, reflecting the traditional Norwegian coastal engineering methods of the early 1900s.

The light system emits white, red, or green signals that occult twice every eight seconds, providing visibility up to 23.7 kilometers for maritime navigation.

Located on the western shore of Vågsøy island, the lighthouse stands 3 kilometers north of Vågsvåg village and operated a radio beacon from 1963 to 1992.
