Lighthouse Vlieland in April 2005. It is the upper part of the former front light of Ijmuiden. Since 1912 there were several side-buldings as observing room at the lighthouse. During World War II it was a observing point for the Germans. It was damaged in 1944 through an English airplane. In 1988 the tower got a new lantern.
