The new modern lighthouse, finished in 1879, replaced the older light house further inland. With a height of 60.3m this lighthouse had agreat reach, which was necessary as the Wadden Sea extends for many miles offshore, grounding vessels unaware of the dangerous ever shfiting sandbars seaward of this magnificent building.
The lighthouse is open for visitors.
