About Skagen Lighthouses Lighthouse
Constructed in 1956, this white concrete cylindrical tower stands 25 meters tall and houses a lantern and gallery. Its light, situated 31 meters above sea level, emits one white flash every 10 seconds and is visible for 15.5 nautical miles. The lighthouse is located on Skagen Odde, a sandy spit at the northernmost point of Jylland, separating the Skagerrak and Kattegat seas. It was built to replace the former Højen lighthouse, which was demolished in 1976 due to beach erosion. The site is open to the public, though the tower itself is closed.
Why it matters: This lighthouse assists vessels navigating the waters off the northern tip of Jylland, specifically warning them of their proximity to the shore.
