De Ven

De Ven is a lighthouse in Oosterdijk, a village in the municipality of Enkhuizen, Netherlands.

De Ven was one of the three lighthouses indicating the route from the Waddenzee to Amsterdam; the other two were at Marken and Durgerdam.

De Ven is the only one remaining of the three original lighthouses.

In 1819 the lighthouse burned down, with only the outer walls still standing.

An emergency solution functioned for twenty years.
