Groote Kaap, Maritime lighthouse in Groote Keeten, Netherlands
The Groote Kaap lighthouse stands 16.8 meters tall with four floors and features a cylindrical steel structure painted in red with a white light casing.
Built in 1966, this lighthouse replaced an earlier structure from 1871, marking a significant upgrade in maritime navigation technology along the Dutch coast.
The lighthouse represents the Netherlands' commitment to maritime safety, forming part of a network that guides vessels through the North Sea waters.
Located at coordinates 52.880833N and 4.714722E, the lighthouse emits white, red, and green signals visible up to 11 nautical miles at sea.
