Blåvandshuk Lighthouse is situated on Denmark's westernmost point in Blåvand, perched 18 meters above sea level on Horns Bjerge. The lighthouse itself rises to a height of 39 meters above the sea. The current structure of Blåvandshuk Lighthouse was built in 1899 by master carpenter Kr. Skaft and was first lit on New Year's Eve in 1900. Today, the lighthouse is automated but continues to operate as it has for many years. The former lighthouse keeper's house now hosts an exhibition on the Horns Rev offshore wind farm and also houses the local tourist information center.
