The Sand-Covered Church

As with many other attractions and sights in Skagen, the forces of nature have also played a major role at The Sand-Covered Church

A testament to the power of nature in Skagen

The violent sand drift meant that the church, which had gathered people from near and far for over 400 years, eventually had to close its doors to the congregation when the sand won the battle and covered the entire church except for the church tower, which is still visible and enthroned in the landscape.

Here you will find the The Sand-Covered Church (Den Tilsandede Kirke):
