Mårup Church, Church ruin near Lønstrup, Denmark
The church structure contained a nave and choir built of red bricks on the edge of Lønstrup Klint overlooking the North Sea.
Constructed around 1250, the church served its parish until 1926 when a new religious building was established in nearby Lønstrup village.
The National Museum of Denmark maintained the structure from 1952 until 2005, when preservation status ended due to coastal erosion threats.
By 2016, authorities dismantled the entire church structure, leaving only partial wall remnants visible near the eroding coastline.
The site contains a memorial and anchor from HMS Crescent, a British frigate that sank in 1808, resulting in 200 sailors buried nearby.
