 The original lighthouse was maintained by monks at an 11th-century monastic chapel. In 1664, a lighthouse was built on this location using the stones from the priory. It was replaced in 1898 by the current structure and stayed in service until 1984. Today, it remains open as a visitor attraction.

 The Rubjerg Knude Lighthouse sits 60 meters above the North Sea. Coastal erosion is a serious problem in this area. Each year, about 1.5 meters of the coast is lost. In 2019, the lighthouse was moved 70 meters inland to prevent it from falling into the sea. This doesn’t solve the problem but will keep the lighthouse safe until at least 2060.
