The lighthouse in Marken

betekenis & definitie

(Lighthouse 1), on the eastern point of the island, arose in 1839 to plans of J. Valk on the foundation of a lighthouse from 1700. This also includes a gable with arms, dolphins and inscription. The white plastered round conical hull of four floors is crowned by a balustrade and a light house with a dome that was renovated in 1901. Striking are the two-story engine room (1919) and the guardians' home that was added later (circa 1930).
