Lyngvig Lighthouse Live Cam

History

The origins of Lyngvig Lighthouse trace back to the early 20th century, when Denmark’s West Jutland coast was plagued by shipwrecks along its shifting sandbanks. In 1906, the Danish Maritime Authority commissioned a new coastal beacon near Hvide Sande, replacing a smaller light at Bovbjerg. Designed to guide fishing vessels en route to Ringkøbing Fjord and merchant ships navigating the North Sea shipping lanes, Lyngvig Lighthouse (Lyngvig Fyr) rapidly became an essential landmark for Denmark travel guides and maritime safety records. Its iconic red-and-white stripes now symbolize Jutland attractions in countless “things to do in Hvide Sande” itineraries.
