The lighthouse is located at the top of the cliff Lภnstrup Klint, 60 meters above sea level. The lighthouse was operated until 1908, at a gas plant, and on August 1, 1968, stopped operating.

2. The American Stara
One of the most remarkable on record the wreck, the SS American is stranded in the Canary Islands off the coast, after the storm broke towlines and dragging a tug boat near the coast of Morocco. Once stranded on the beach, in the stomach SS America split in two, and finally the stern sank.
There's an interesting note about the ship. After the ship was stranded, local residents and then stripped out. In fact it is said, a lot of furniture in homes made from pieces of the giant ship Potingan.
3 - The Church that stood on the sea of lava
On February 20, 1943, a volcano suddenly erupted in the state of Michoacan Mexico, and spent two villages with hot lava and ashes. And, 64 years after the massive eruption, there is nothing left from the two villages destroyed, apart from a church tower of San Juan Parangaricutiro.
This is the only marker that was once the region's ever there were two villages. San Juan church tower standing upright in the sea of lava. Church of San Juan to look terrible and forbidding as the country comes from nowhere anta. Volcanic eruptions, and hot lava flows into the area around and cover  ¾ of the city. Under the remaining residual lava that houses and buildings were buried city, and its inhabitants.
4 - Construction Crane buried in Ice Sheet
In the mid-1960s, ITT build electricity transmission lines in the Antarctic. Transmission tower stands 115 meters. As you can see in this picture, all except the tower as high as 40 feet are now buried in the ice, and the crane used to build the tower is completely covered by ice is not only a transmission tower that was buried, but also his own Antarctic research stations. Old Byrd Station has been closed and buried in a pile of ice 40-50 meters.
5 - Ryugyong Hotel in North Korea, Unique and Without Window
If Dr. Evil was a real person, he will need a real hideout, and that real hideout might once was The Ryugyong Hotel in Pyongyang, North Korea. This is a giant building with 105 floors, but surprisingly, no single window there. Somehow the real concept of this gigantic building as to not give any window there.
This unique building has a 330 meters high, shaped like a pyramid to 3,000 rooms. The plan there are 7 restaurants, but construction was never completed.
The newspaper estimated the construction cost of this strange hotel at that time was about $ 750 million - 2% of the GDP of North Korea. It is estimated that construction was halted in 1992 due to lack of funding, the problem of electricity shortages, and famine that occurred in the country.
The building itself is already finished, but do not have windows and other fixtures or fittings. Though this hotel building is one of the 18 tallest hotel in the world. Too bad! The Ryugyong by North Korean officials had turned into a fortress. Then, this building was partially destroyed by bombs.
Update: After 16 years, Ryugyong Hotel re-built. Of Egypt's Orascom group has recently started to repair the tower building. The company has put glass panels into the concrete shell and installed telecommunications antennas. South Korea estimates that the hotel renovation will cost about $ 2 billion, 10% of the GDP of North Korea.
6 - Fortress of the Red Army in the Middle Sea
Thames Estuary Army Citadel was built in 1942, designed by Guy Maunsell. Their goal is to provide anti-aircraft within the Thames Estuary.
Fortress of each group consists of seven towers with a road that connects them all to a central control tower.
The fort, when viewed as a whole, comprised one Bofors tower, control tower, four gun towers and tower highlight.
They are arranged in a very specific way, with the control tower at the center, and the Bofors gun towers arranged in a semicircular fashion around it and highlight the position of the tower even further, but still directly connected to the control tower through the streets.
The fort was used during the Second World War, and there is no doubt that they have a very big contribution.
In 1959 the castle was partially dismantled, but leaves several such fort, Red Sands and shivering Sands, which still stands today. 60-70 years of this empty fortress was used by the pirates but later abandoned.
7. Ghost Town of San Zhi

It is not known the name of the architect for this development was ordered by the government to several local companies. Initially, buildings were reserved for luxury resorts that symbolize a prosperous and wealthy Taipei. But now the situation is reversed.
The buildings that had to place tourism has turned into a strange and haunted. Many strange happenings rumored to happen there. As a result, none of the tourists want to visit there, let alone for a vacation, local newspapers said there were many accidents during construction, and as news spread to the island's citizens, so they are afraid to come there.
Locals said the area is now haunted by the spirits of the dead worker was curious of useless there. This makes them who was trying to survive, finally escaped from that place. Over time, a tourist town that became vacant.
