The Rubjerg Knude lighthouse, in Denmark, was slowly wheeled away from the coastline on October 22, amid fears that erosion could put the 119-year-old structure at risk.

This video shows the lighthouse trundling along a specially built track, which allowed construction crews to relocate it 70 meters inland.

The BBC reported that, when first built, the lighthouse was about 200 meters from the coast. Credit: Fyretflytter via Storyful
