The fog horn house located in Emmeloord (Schokland) has become known as "De Misthoorn". In fact, it is a misleading name, because it is only an empty building. There is no trace of a foghorn. Little is known about what exactly was in the building. It dates from 1921 when radar and GPS were still unknown and Schokland was still surrounded by water. The building is now part of the Schokland World Heritage Site.

One of the few buildings that have been preserved from the time when Schokland was still an island is the Misthoornhuisje. Discover the world heritage in Flevoland yourself.

Very few buildings have been preserved on Schokland. Only the church of Middelbuurt and the lighthouse keeper's house were allowed to remain after the evacuation of Schokland in 1859. Almost all other buildings were demolished to prevent the residents from simply returning after the evacuation. The lighthouse keeper's house that remained on 'Emmeloord' was demolished in 1865 and replaced by a new house. The lighthouse keeper's house that is now on the northern tip of Schokland dates from 1901. The misthoornhuisje dates from after the evacuation, because it was not built until 1921.
