Vuurbaak of Katwijk aan Zee

Highlight • Monument

The fire sign of Katwijk aan Zee, also known as Vierboet, is the oldest preserved lighthouse building in the Netherlands after the Brandaris. The tower has a height of 14 meters and is located behind the boulevard on Vuurbaakplein in the southwest of the village. Children in Katwijk were not told that they were brought by the stork, but that they came from this Vierboet. The tower has been open to the public since 1968 during the summer months.

Old Church, Katwijk

Highlight • Religious Site

The church dedicated to St. Andrew the Apostle until the Reformation was built after 1461 in late Gothic formations as Kreuzkirche, the massive transept being the length of nave and choir. 1572, the church was set in the wake of the Eighty Years War by Spanish troops on fire. It was not until 1709 that the church was completely restored. 1923-25, the transept and the three-sided closed choir were rebuilt. In 1942 German occupying forces laid down the upper floors of the church tower, which received its present form after the war in 1953 (Wikipedia).
