Random Sand Fact
In Denmark, sand buried a church so deeply that only the tower remains above the dunes.
As drifting sand began to take over the area, the congregation had to dig its way to the church door before services. For 20 years, they fought the sand.
Eventually, they gave up. The church closed in 1795 and was demolished. Its whitewashed tower still stands among the dunes.
Beneath the sand, remains of the church foundations and floor are still there, along with a baptismal font.
