Oud-Kraggenburg was once an artificial peninsula in the Zuidersee. Today it has become an elevation in the landscape since the Noordoostpolder was drained. A beacon and a lighthouse keeper's house stand on the elevation and make a nice photo opportunity. The listed buildings are privately owned, but can always be visited on the second weekend in September on Open Monumentendag ("Open Monument Day").

Great building. Currently privately owned, therefore entering prohibited. 📸

A lighthouse far from the coast? Before the sea surrounding the Oud Kraggenburg was drained when the north-east polder was built, this was a very small island. Now it can no longer be seen from the sea. Is privately owned, can only be viewed from (completely) outside.
