Ir. D.F. Woudagemaal (Woudagemaal Steam Pumping Station)

Highlight • Monument

The huge steam pumping station was set up in 1920 to pump excess water from Friesland into the IJsselmeer. Until today it is fully operational and thus the last functioning steam pumping plant in the world. You can also visit this industrial monument, glide through the halls of the steam engines and learn all sorts of things about the history of the building in the adjacent visitor center.

Information and opening times can be found at woudagemaal.nl/en.

Urk Harbour and Lighthouse

Highlight • Monument

The 18 meter Urk lighthouse was built on the westernmost point of the island in 1844. A coal fire had burned on Urk since 1617, which was intended to show the way for ships from Urk and ships from Amsterdam heading towards the North Sea. This allowed skippers to reach safe harbors. With the closure of the Zuiderzee and the creation of the IJsselmeer, the lighthouse lost its importance. Nowadays, its top offers an incredible view of the Urk skyline. For an entrance fee, you can climb the lighthouse in the summer months, and in other seasons by arrangement.
