Lyngvig Lighthouse, Maritime lighthouse in Ringkøbing-Skjern Municipality, Denmark.

The concrete structure rises 39 meters from the dune, featuring a white tower with a viewing balcony accessible through 159 interior steps.

The lighthouse began operating on November 3rd, 1906, following a maritime accident in 1903 that resulted in the loss of 24 sailors.

The lighthouse represents maritime safety along Denmark's western coast, with local residents participating in beach monitoring activities during the 1950s.

Visitors can reach the lighthouse by bicycle, car, or foot, and explore the former lighthouse keeper's house that now contains a shop and café.

In 2013, the facility restored its traditional light pattern, replacing a modern natrium lamp with a white blinking stationary beam visible up to 50 kilometers.
