Skagen Stroll & Buried Church

Skagen Stroll & Buried Church

Discover the charming fishing village of Skagen, Denmark’s northernmost town, whose history dates back to the 13th century. With your guide, wander through the lively harbor lined with colorful wooden houses and traditional fishing boats gently rocking in the water. From here, follow a scenic nature path to one of Skagen’s most extraordinary sights: the Buried Church, a natural phenomenon shaped by centuries of drifting sands. Dedicated to Saint Lawrence, the patron saint of seafarers, this 14th century church was once the largest in the region, but relentless sand drifts eventually forced worshippers to dig their way inside. By 1795 the struggle became impossible, and the church was closed by royal decree, today, only its whitewashed tower remains visible above the dunes.

After exploring this remarkable landmark, stroll back toward town and enjoy a refreshing cup of coffee and a Danish pastry at the Coastal Museum (Kystmuseet), an inviting open air museum offering a glimpse into Skagen’s past, complete with a charming replica of a historic local home. Following your break, continue your walk through Skagen’s delightful streets toward the marina, alive with boutique shops and cozy cafés. Conclude your visit with a picturesque photo stop before returning to your yacht.
