The Sand-Covered Church, also called Old Skagen Church, is a former brick Gothic church in Frederikshavn Municipality, Denmark, about 2 kilometres southwest of Skagen's town centre. Dedicated to Saint Lawrence of Rome, it was partly buried by dune sand in the late 18th century, and the congregation struggled to clear its entrance until it was abandoned in 1795. The church was later demolished, leaving only its tower with a crow-stepped gable. It is a protected ancient monument.
