The Marsk Tower is the meeting point for the entire Marsk Camp, here everyone is welcome to take a walk up and admire the spectacular view.

When you have climbed 146 steps and landed on the lookout platform, you are thus standing 36 meters above sea level. Here there is ample opportunity to experience how sky and sea merge with the horizon. This gives a completely unique perspective on the otherwise immediately flat marsh.

As mentioned, the main construction consists of steps, but the tower will also be handicap- and walking-friendly, as an elevator will be integrated, so that there is access for everyone.

When the Danish weather is, as we love it most, clear and sunny, you can enjoy the view all the way to Ribe, Herring and Rømø!

Marsh Tower is a must when you have to experience Southern Jutland!

 

Take the trip up to the new landmark for the marsh and experience how the horizon is both erased and expanded at the same time. Here you get a unique chance to experience the flat marsh and see as far as the eye can see.

The architecture
Get a new perspective on the beautiful marsh through Danish architecture. 25 meters above the ground, the Marsh Tower lets you experience a 360 degree view of the uniquely beautiful marsh. Feel in your own body how the famous and fresh North Sea wind can create calm and new thoughts at the same time.

Marsk Tower is designed by architects from the world-famous Danish design studio Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG) and consists of a unique construction, where the design is based on nature's twisted structure and human DNA strand. It appears as both a sculpture and a lookout tower and has the shape of a double helix and is designed in such a way that there is one way up and another way down. You thus get the full experience for every single step, all the way around both up and down.

The construction is built by Schack Trapper and is made of corten steel, which is both solid and robust. The tower's natural dark color is true to nature and therefore blends in with the surrounding habitus, despite the fact that it has a height of 36 meters above sea level and can be seen from several kilometers away. Marsh Tower is at once unique, eye-catching and natural.

Marsh Tower will be a landmark for the entire marsh and Skærbækegnen. A fantastic experience of architecture in Southern Jutland.
