Hellevoetsluis Lighthouse, Maritime lighthouse in Hellevoetsluis, Netherlands
The cylindrical brick structure rises 18.1 meters into the sky, featuring stark white markings and a red roof that stands against the coastal landscape.
Built in 1822 for 4,849 Dutch guilders, this lighthouse replaced a simple lantern system that had proven inadequate for guiding ships into the harbor.
The designation as a Rijksmonument in 1982 confirms the structure's importance within Dutch maritime heritage and architectural preservation efforts.
Local tourism offices provide information about the lighthouse area, which remains an active navigational aid within the network managed by Rijkswaterstaat.
The lighthouse survived a proposed demolition in 1951 thanks to strong opposition from local residents who recognized its value for the community.
