Stavoren Lighthouse, Lighthouse on IJsselmeer shore in Staveren, Netherlands.

The cast iron skeletal lighthouse features a red exterior with a white lantern dome and rises to a height of 16 meters above the water.

Built in 1884, the lighthouse received recognition as a Rijksmonument in 1999, marking its status as a protected national monument of the Netherlands.

The lighthouse represents the maritime traditions of Friesland, standing as a testament to the region's connection with water navigation and seafaring heritage.

The structure emits a white light visible for 12 nautical miles, alternating between 2 seconds on and 2 seconds off to guide vessels into Stavoren harbor.

Two additional beacons, one red and one green, work alongside the lighthouse on nearby piers to create a complete navigation system for maritime traffic.
