Lighthouse painted white; lantern roof painted red. Hanstholm Fyr is one of Denmark's most important lights, since it marks the southern entrance to the Skagerrak, the broad strait separating Denmark and Norway and leading to the Baltic Sea. The lighthouse had to be built twice, because a mixup in the specifications left the first tower inadequate to support the lens. The tower was raised in height in 1889, when the present first-order lantern was installed. In 1979 the light station was sold to Hanstholm Kommune and the Viborg Regional Authority, although FRV reserves the right of access to the tower and stations a resident caretaker on the property. The buildings house a museum of regional history. Located on the Tårnvej in Hanstholm, about 400 m (1/4 mi) southeast of the waterfront.
