    This striking red lighthouse is called the Noordertoren, also known as the Buitentoren. The lighthouse was built in 1853 to guide shipping through dangerous shallows.

    A Coast Guard lookout house was built in 1951, and in 1979 the tower received a new radar antenna lighthouse. The tower was painted red in 1998. Unfortunately, the tower is not accessible, but it is also an impressive sight from the outside.

    The functioning lighthouse of Schiermonnikoog, not to be confused with that other white lighthouse that has not been in service as a lighthouse for many years. The lighthouse cannot be visited, but it is still impressive to visit. There is also a beach entrance and water point here.
