With its rectangular brick shape, the Brandaris is perhaps the most characteristic lighthouse in the Netherlands. A beautiful specimen in the center of West Terschelling. The tower cannot be visited because it is still used day and night for regional shipping.

An iconic and perhaps the most beautiful lighthouse in the Netherlands - or at least the Wadden Islands. In the middle of the village of West-Terschelling, this column-shaped brick lighthouse towers majestically above the village. The best view of the tower can be had from the climbing dunes just west of the village, such as the Seinpaalduin - or of course from the Waddenveer between the island and Harlingen.
