Noorderhoofd, Maritime navigation structure in Westkapelle, Netherlands.
The Noorderhoofd features a red tower with a white band, standing 16 meters tall with its light source positioned 20 meters above sea level.
Built in 1874, this round cast iron lighthouse was designed by Dutch architect Quirinus Harder, marking the first of its kind in the Netherlands.
The lighthouse played an essential role in maritime safety, working together with the Tall Lighthouse to guide vessels through the busy shipping lanes near Walcheren.
Visitors can access all four floors of this automated lighthouse, which emits white light at 6,000 candela and red and green lights at 1,800 candela each.
The iron segments of the round tower required specialized wooden molds created by the Nering Bogel foundry in Deventer for casting the curved iron façade.
