Skagen Lighthouse

Skagen Lighthouse , also known as Skagen's Grey Lighthouse , is an active lighthouse 4 km northeast of Skagen in the far north of Jutland, Denmark. Designed by architect Niels Sigfred Nebelong, it was brought into operation on 1 November 1858.Skagen's first lighthouse, the White Lighthouse , designed by Philip de Lange and completed in 1747, was the first lighthouse in Denmark to be built in brick. The Skagen Lighthouse which replaced it consists of an unpainted round brick tower with a lantern and gallery, reaching a height of 151 ft . The two-storey keeper's house to which it is attached is painted bright yellow. When it was built it was more or less at the centre of the Skagen Odde peninsula, but as a result of coastal erosion, it is now very near the Kattegat coast to the southeast.
