OudheidkamerThe Oudheidkamer (House of Antiquities) is the smallest museum in the oldest house on Texel. It is located in the center of Den Burg. The Old Holland decor takes you back to the days of your grandparents. There is a different temporary exhibit every year. The House of Antiquities is open between April 1 and November 1. |

LighthouseClimb the striking red lighthouse located at the northern tip of Texel. At the top, around 45 meters above sea level, you get a tremendous view of the Wadden Sea and Texel. The inside of the tower dates back to 1864. After the lighthouse was heavily damaged in the Second World War, a new outer wall was built around the busted tower. At the fourth level, you can walk between the walls and see the bullet holes in the old wall! |
