It was designed by Philip de Lange and was the first lighthouse in Denmark to be built from brick. The octagonal tower, initially made of raw red brick, was whitewashed in the early 19th century. With a height of 21 m (69 ft), it lies at the intersection of Fyrvej and Batterivej. The lighthouse was originally coal-fired, with the coal being transported upwards through an internal shaft. In 1835, rapeseed oil replaced coal and the lighthouse received a parabolic reflector. In 1858 the White Lighthouse was replaced by the Gray Lighthouse

On the northern edge of Skagen is "Det Hvide Fyr i Skagen", the white lighthouse. The tower can no longer be recognized as such today. It served as a beacon from 1747 to 1858. The octagonal tower is said to have been built by Philip de Lange and was the first of its kind to be built entirely from bricks.
