Hoek van Holland hoog

Hoek van Holland, The Netherlands

The original 3° Fresnel lens has been transferred to Maasvlakte light. Prefabricated in Dordrecht by Penn & Bauduin. The light was deactivated when the Maasvlakte light was established as the landfall light for Rotterdam. The lighthouse was scheduled for demolition until a teenager named René Vas started a campaign to save it. He is the current lighthouse keeper and the tower now contains a small museum, the Netherlands Coastal Lighthouse Museum. ARLHS NET-142.
