The Grey Lighthouse, located on the Skagen spit, was inaugurated and lit for the first time on November 1, 1858, half an hour after sunset. It is the second-highest lighthouse in Denmark. The impressive structure, designed by architect N.S. Nebelong, was built over four years for 200,000 Rixdollars. The lighthouse's light, visible for 20 nautical miles, serves as an important navigation aid for shipping traffic in Skagerrak and Kattegat.
