Blåvand Lighthouse

The white cylindrical lighthouse rises 39 meters from the dunes, reaching a total height of 55 meters above sea level at Denmark's westernmost point.

Built in 1900 to replace an earlier angle lighthouse from 1888, the structure continues to guide vessels through the challenging waters of the North Sea.

The lighthouse forms an integral part of Denmark's maritime heritage, serving both as a functional beacon and a symbol of coastal navigation traditions.

The lighthouse emits three distinct flashes every 20 seconds through its 1000-watt bulb, projecting light visible up to 50 kilometers across the water.

From the observation platform, visitors can view the expansive Horns Rev wind farm while standing at mainland Denmark's most western building.
