Nieuwpoort Lighthouse, Maritime landmark at Old Sea Dyke, Nieuwpoort, Belgium
The concrete lighthouse rises 26 meters high with four floors, positioned on the right bank of the IJzer River near De IJzermonding nature reserve.
Built in 1949, this structure represents the fourth lighthouse in the area, incorporating the lighting installation from its 1923 predecessor that survived World War II.
The lighthouse stands as a protected monument of Belgian maritime heritage, reflecting the relationship between coastal communities and maritime navigation traditions.
Located at Oude Zeedijk 2, the lighthouse operates automatically since 1963 through remote control, continuing its function as a navigational guide for vessels.
The structure retains its original lighting mechanism from the previous 1923 lighthouse, demonstrating the preservation of early 20th-century maritime technology.
