Fornæs Lighthouse, Maritime beacon on Djursland peninsula, Denmark.
The granite lighthouse tower rises 27 meters above the eastern tip of Djursland peninsula, featuring 84 stone steps leading to the observation deck.
Built in 1839 by architect Georg Holgreen, the structure received technological upgrades including an acetylene lamp in 1902 and electrical systems in 1924.
The lighthouse represents Denmark's maritime heritage, serving as a crucial navigation point for vessels traversing the Kattegat waters near Grenaa.
The former lighthouse keeper's residence currently operates as vacation rental accommodation, allowing visitors to stay directly at this coastal landmark.
The foundation extends 3 meters deep and 8.8 meters wide, constructed on solid lime ground to withstand coastal conditions.
