Westkapelle Hoog, Red brick lighthouse in Westkapelle, Netherlands.

The Westkapelle Hoog lighthouse rises 52.3 meters above the North Sea coastline with six floors and 197 steps leading to the observation platform.

Built in 1432 as part of Sint Willibrorduskerk church, the structure continued as a lighthouse after the church burned down in 1831.

The lighthouse contains exhibits displaying photographs and artworks from local artists, reflecting the maritime heritage of Zeeland province.

Visitors can access the structure during regular hours to climb to the top platform for views extending 37 kilometers across the North Sea.

The red light signal, installed in 1817 following designs by J. Valk, continues to guide maritime traffic along the Dutch coast.
