Vuurduin

The three-floor cast iron lighthouse reaches 17 meters in height and stands prominently on the Vuurboetsduin dune, overlooking both the North Sea and Wadden Sea.

Architect Quirinus Harder designed this maritime structure in 1909, implementing specific engineering features to withstand the harsh coastal conditions of the Frisian Islands.

The Dutch government designated Vuurduin as a Rijksmonument, recognizing its role in the maritime heritage of the Wadden Islands and the Netherlands.

Visitors can access the lighthouse during the summer months from July to October, climbing 51 steps to experience views across Vlieland and surrounding waters.

The lighthouse emits a distinctive signal pattern that flashes every two seconds, serving as a crucial navigation aid for vessels in the Wadden Sea.
