Rubjerg Knude Lighthouse (Danish: Rubjerg Knude Fyr) is on the coast of the North Sea in Rubjerg, in the Jutland municipality of Hjørring in northern Denmark. It was first lit in 1900.
The lighthouse is on the top of Lønstrup Klint (cliff), 60 metres (200 ft) above sea level.
Shifting sands and coastal erosion are a serious problem in the area. The coast is eroded on average 1.5 metres a year.
The lighthouse ceased operating in 1968. For a number of years, the buildings were used as a museum and coffee shop, but continually shifting sands caused them to be abandoned in 2002. By 2009, the small buildings were severely damaged by the pressure of the sand and were later removed. The lighthouse is open for public since 2015, you can climb to the top and enjoy the view over the Sea and dunes. It is expected that the tower will fall into the sea in the next years, but authorities want to save the building by moving it inland.
