Hanstholm Lighthouse, Lighthouse and tourist attraction in Hanstholm, Denmark.

Located on Denmark's northwest coast, the white lighthouse tower stands 23 meters tall and emits light from 65 meters above sea level.

Built in 1843, the structure marked a technological advancement as Denmark's first rotating lens lighthouse, utilizing advanced refraction techniques for maritime navigation.

The lighthouse functions as a center for art exhibitions and workshops where professional groups explore connections between nature, art, and human experiences.

Visitors can access the lighthouse year-round and stay overnight in four renovated assistant apartments equipped with kitchens and North Sea views.

The structure operates with a mechanism that produces three distinct light flashes every 10 seconds, visible from 40 kilometers at sea.
