About Emshörn Lighthouse
The Emshörn lighthouse was established in 1979 and is situated in the Ems estuary, about 4 kilometers from Eemshaven, Netherlands. This active, cylindrical yellow tower with a black base stands 14 meters tall. Its design features a round tower mounted on a square pyramidal skeletal tower. The light emits a yellow flash every 4 seconds, with a focal height of 13 meters. The site is open to visitors, though the tower itself is not accessible. Its nearest port is Emden, located 2.3 kilometers away.
Why it matters: This lighthouse is essential for safe navigation within the Ems estuary, guiding ships through its complex channels to and from the port of Eemshaven. Its distinctive two-stage structure and specific yellow flash characteristic help mariners identify it among other aids.
