Netherlands Scheveningen Lighthouse

In earlier times a simple fire on the beach safely guided fishermen back to the coastline. Around 1805 the open fire was replaced by a stone building topped by a lookout post and a brazier. This container for fire then developed into the lighthouse we know today. The current lighthouse in Scheveningen was designed by Quirinus Harder in 1875, who also designed the lighthouses in Texel, Vlieland and Den Helder. Now 432 cast iron plates and 4,600 bolts hold the colossal tower together. The Scheveningen lighthouse has the status of a national monument. If you would like to visit the lighthouse, this can be arranged at Muzee Scheveningen

Photography Tips

A wise man told me to always turn around when I am in the midst of photographing the sunset. A great tip for those who wish to photograph the sunset in Scheveningen!

If 159 steps do not scare you, do climb up the lighthouse and enjoy the spectacular view across the North Sea. On Wednesday and Saturday afternoons at 14.00 visitors can view the inside of Scheveningen lighthouse, in combination with or without a visit to Muzee Scheveningen.

As the lighthouse is encompassed by houses, there is only one spot (see coordinates) where you can photograph the lighthouse almost in its entirety.
