Designed by Quirinus Harder, it was built between 1866 and 1867. The octagonal, black and white tower marks the entrance to the Westerschelde. It is part of a series of lights marking the end of the Schelde river and guide traffic between the North Sea and the harbor of Antwerp. Nieuwe Sluis is the oldest extant cast iron lighthouse in the Netherlands after the one in Renesse was demolished in 1915. Initially it was yellow, then it received red-white bands, before it was painted black and white. During World War II the lighthouse was deactivated and covered in camouflage paint; it was not reactivated until 1951.
