About
Det Grå Fyr (Lighthouse)
The Gray Lighthouse, located on the Skagen Peninsula, was inaugurated and first lit on November 1, 1858, half an hour after sunset. It is Denmark's second tallest lighthouse, only one meter shorter than Dueodde Lighthouse on Bornholm. The impressive structure, designed by architect N.S. Nebelong, was built over four years at a cost of 200,000 rigsdalers. The lighthouse's light, visible 20 nautical miles away, serves as an important navigational aid for shipping in the Skagerrak and Kattegat.
