The round granite tower with a red lantern and gallery stands at the most easterly point of Jutland (Jylland), at the end of the Djurs peninsula, around 4 km northeast of Grenaa (Grenå) and replaces an older tower from 1839 in the same place.
Today's granite lighthouse was built in 1892 and equipped with a second-order lens apparatus and a 4-wick oil wick burner.
