Rubjerg Knude lighthouse, Maritime landmark in Hjørring Municipality, Denmark
The white square lighthouse rises 23 meters above sea level on the North Sea coast, featuring a distinctive red lantern at its summit.
Built in 1899 and operational until 1968, the lighthouse guided vessels through the North Sea waters using a gas-powered illumination system until 1908.
The lighthouse stands as a testament to Danish maritime engineering, with its design reflecting the traditional architecture of North Jutland coastal structures.
Engineers relocated the entire 720-tonne structure 70 meters inland during October 2019 to protect it from coastal erosion threatening its foundation.
Sand dunes continuously shift and accumulate around the lighthouse, forcing the closure of its museum in 1992 when sand completely filled the building.
