Tips

Lighthouse Westerlicht is located in Haamstede and is one of the largest lighthouses in the Netherlands. The tower was designed by L. Valk and built in 1837. The lighthouse was used as a source of inspiration for the former 250 guilder banknote.

Its 53 meters height (above ground level) and a light height of 58 meters above sea level makes the Westerlicht Lighthouse one of the largest lighthouses in the Netherlands. The light from the tower reaches 30 nautical miles and the lantern has a luminous intensity of 5.2 million candelas.
The base of the tower is formed by approximately 2.5 meters thick walls, which become thinner towards the top. It is painted with a red and a white band that spiral upwards. This painting was applied only a century after construction as a warning for low-flying aircraft. The partly stone and partly iron staircase of the lighthouse has 226 steps.

Lighthouse Westerlicht is no longer manned. The radar image is forwarded to the Coast Guard post Ouddorp. The lighthouse is not open to the public.
