Doomed
The Rubjerg Knude lighthouse in Denmark is located 90m above sea level. The ocean meets the tall sand dunes. When the lighthouse was built it was more than 200m inland and there were no large dunes around it. Over time the sea moved in closer and simultaneously the wind blew large amounts of sand up from the cliff. The lighthouse will within the next 10-15 years fall into the sea because of coastal erosion (2m a year) - this, of course I found out after climbing endless flight of see-through stairs to the top and back accompanied by whistling wind (with my heart in my pants!)
