Breskens lighthouse. It is the oldest surviving cast-iron lighthouse in the Netherlands. Open in the summer months. A view from above is indescribable. Three thumbs for the nice experience. 👍👍👍😘

The black and white of the tower and then that gray is not to be missed...

The Breskens lighthouse from 1868 is the oldest existing cast-iron lighthouse in the Netherlands and one of the most iconic buildings in West Zeeland Flanders. This octagonal, black and white painted tower was built in 1866-1867 according to a design by the Dutch architect Quirinus Harder.

Nieuw Sluis Lighthouse is located on the sea wall at the entrance to the Western Scheldt, has a height of 28.4 meters and has five floors. It is part of a series of lights that mark the end of the Scheldt and guide shipping traffic between the North Sea and Antwerp.
In 2011 the lighthouse was decommissioned and demolition threatened. Thanks to the efforts of the Breskens Lighthouse Foundation, the national monument was completely renovated in 2015 and opened to visitors.

The entrance fee is €2.00 per person. Children aged 5 to 12 are admitted under supervision for €1.00. Given the small space and the steep stairs, the lighthouse is not suitable for children under 5 years old and no more than 15 people are allowed at a time.

The lighthouse is open on Saturdays and Sundays from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. until October. Info: vuurtorenbreskens.nl
