From a distance it is a nice marking point on your walk. When you get there, there appears to be quite a story behind it. A story about shipwreck, beaches, SOS and hope for rescue.

A beautiful marker on an otherwise completely empty beach. A suitable place to shelter when it rains and to eat your lunch. A replica that revives history.

The drowning house is a former shelter for drowning people, rebuilt in 2000. The house is now a beautiful landmark on the beach in the east of Terschelling.
The drowning house is located in a Dark Sky Park, where you can enjoy a fantastic starry sky at night!
