Lange Jaap
Standing proudly on the coast of Den Helder, Lange Jaap is the tallest cast-iron lighthouse in Europe. Built in 1877 and painted a striking red, this 63-metre tower was designed by Quirinus Harder to guide ships safely through the North Sea. Its powerful light once reached as far as 29 nautical miles, making it an essential beacon at the entrance to the Marsdiep. Though closed to the public since 1998, Lange Jaap remains an unmistakable landmark and an icon of Dutch maritime heritage.
