This 12m high lighthouse, equipped with a sector light, was built in 1892 and was lit for the first time in December 1893. The first lighthouse keeper at Hou (from 1893 -1914) was Harald Valdemar Octavius Westerman, who was born in Svendborg in 1851. From August 1900 Harald Valdemar’s wife Laurine Dorthea Westermann was also employed as a lighthouse keeper here. In 1907 new lenses and a new light source, an incandescent burner fuelled by petroleum, were installed in the lighthouse. In 1923 it was the first lighthouse in Denmark to be fitted with the “autoform” incandescent burner, which were manufactured in England. Hou Lighthouse was automated between 1949-50, after which time there was no permanent keeper working at the lighthouse. https://www.govisitlangeland.com/langeland/plan-journey/hou-lighthouse-fyr-north-langeland-gdk831239

A beautiful, long stretch of beach in the northeast of Langeland. There's a small parking lot and a bathing jetty near Østerhuse. To the north, you can already see the Hou Lighthouse. This stretch is perfect for a beach run with a view!
