Wikipedia: The lighthouses of Kaapduinen are two lighthouses in the dunes near Dishoek in the Dutch province of Zeeland. The two towers together form a light line in a northwesterly direction to guide ships safely through the fairway of the Oostgat. The light curbs are named Kaapduinen Hoog and Kaapduinen Laag. They line up together in line with the fairway. The tower of the high light has a height of meters and the tower of the low light meters. Both have a square shape, built in brick with a tent roof and are horizontally striped with bands of yellow and red. These towers were built in 1950-1951, but the light line was reed set in 1866. The towers do not have a light house, but let the light line shine through a window at the top of the towers. The white light has a light height of 36 (high) and 27 meters (low) above sea level and the light from both towers offers 13 nautical miles.
