Winter solstices at the solstice column
Marking of the winter solstice.
The solstice monument in Løkken is one of a kind. It shows where the sun sets in the summer and at winter solstices.
Winter Solstice in Løkken
In Løkken, you’ll find something truly unique – the only solstice pillar in the world that precisely marks where the sun sets over the North Sea on the longest and shortest days of the year. A place where the rhythm of nature meets human curiosity.
When the winter darkness is at its deepest and the shortest day of the year approaches, both locals and visitors gather by the water tower and the Solstice Pillar to celebrate the winter solstice. Here, we welcome the return of the light – a moment filled with hope, reflection, and togetherness as the sun slowly sinks into the sea.
The winter solstice gathering takes place on 21 December 2025 at 3:15 PM, with the sunset at 3:38 PM.
The event is organized by Løkken Borger & Håndværkerforening.
