Mårup Church

Denmark / Nordjylland / Hjorring /
 church, ruins
Mårup Church was a Romanesque church built on Lønstrup Klint, a cliff on the North Sea. The area is noted for its windswept landscape, constantly shifting sands and eroding coastline. After hundreds of years of erosion brought the North Sea dangerously close, the church was partially dismantled in 2008 to prevent its falling into the sea. The walls remain at the site, along with the anchor of a British frigate that sank off the coast in 1808.
