J.C.J. van Speijk Lighthouse, Brick lighthouse on the North Sea coast in Egmond aan Zee, Netherlands.
The lighthouse rises 28 meters high with a white cylindrical tower structure, topped by a grey lantern and observation chamber above a keeper's house.
Constructed in 1834, the lighthouse commemorates Lieutenant J.C.J. van Speijk, who sacrificed himself and his crew in Antwerp to prevent Belgian forces from capturing them.
The structure received Rijksmonument status in 1967, marking its importance as a Dutch national heritage site with architectural and historical value.
Visitors can climb the 137 steps of the lighthouse during guided tours every Friday evening in July and August from 19:00 to 21:00.
The lighthouse emits two different light signals: a red beam warning ships about dangerous shallows and a white beam indicating safe passage zones.
