Sletterhage Lighthouse, Maritime museum and lighthouse in Helgenæs, Denmark

The cylindrical concrete tower rises 16 meters high with a balcony and lantern connected to a single-story keeper residence at the southern tip of Djursland peninsula.

The Port of Aarhus constructed this lighthouse in 1894 to guide vessels through the shipping lane between Denmark and Sweden at the entrance to the Baltic Sea.

The exhibition spaces present navigation equipment, marine biology collections, and geological displays highlighting stones transported by ice sheets from Nordic volcanoes.

The lighthouse museum welcomes visitors daily from 11:00 AM to 5:00 PM with complete wheelchair accessibility throughout the facilities.

Before electrical systems, the lighthouse required manual winding of its clockwork mechanism every four hours to maintain the proper flash intervals.
