Built around 1605 this national monument ‘Vuurbaak’ (translation: fire beacon) is one of the oldest lighthouses in The Netherlands. Originally wood was burnt in a basket on top of the flat roof of the tower. Mid 19th century it was replaced by an oil lamp with a reflector. The light was turned on only at times when the fisherman’s fleet of Katwijk left the harbour.

Since 1912 there is no more function for it as there were no more ships returning from the sea to Katwijk. During World War I it was used as a military observation post for the Dutch army and in World War II as a machine gun post by the German occupiers.(part of the Atlantik Wall)

You can visit the lighthouse from Tuesday to Saturday, from 10 A.M. to 17 P.M. during the summer months (June -...

Our visit proved to be very interesting. The volunteers on duty explained the history of the lighthouse very well and provided us with a leaflet in English. This is one of the two oldest buildings left in Katwijk. The other is the old church....

De vuurbaak van Katwijk aan Zee wordt ook de Vierboet genoemd, is na de Brandaris het oudste bewaard gebleven vuurtorengebouw van Nederland. De toren heeft een hoogte van 14 meter en staat achter de boulevard bij het Vuurbaakplein, aan de zuidwestkant van het dorp. Tegen kinderen in Katwijk werd niet verteld dat zij door de ooievaar werden gebracht, maar dat zij uit deze Vierboet kwamen. In de zomermaanden is de toren sinds 1968 geopend voor publiek.
