Seinhuisje

Enjoy an exceptional stay at this unique place! Seinhuisje is located on the Kaapsduin in West Terschelling. This accommodation for two is a striking appearance on the island of Terschelling. Around 1948, Seinhuisje was built using one of the FL243a bunkers as its foundation. It served as a naval station to help with positioning for ships, pilots, sports sailors and residents. The function of the signal tower dune has been phased out due to new navigation techniques. With its eventful history, Seinhuisje has remained and been renovated into a sustainable place where you can spend the night and marvel at one of the most beautiful views in the country.

When you approach the harbour by boat, you arrive in West-Terschelling. West-Terschelling is the largest and liveliest village on the island. The village was founded in the twelfth century on a sandbank that elevated with the rest of the island a century earlier. The name of the village (and of the entire island of Terschelling) seems to derive from the name the sandbank bore, namely De Schelling. Over the years, the name of the village gradually changed. The signal pole dune - the highest dune on Terschelling, protects West-Terschelling from strong westerly winds. From here you have a fantastic view of the island and the sea. Due to its height, in good weather, you can see as far as Vlieland and the coast of Friesland. The dune is still in its original state, as it was formed over the centuries. As a result, the area around the Seinhuisje is a dune landscape with sand, grasses and conifers. From West-Terschelling, you can also walk straight onto Green Beach and into the rugged nature of the Noordsvaarder. Terschelling has lively villages with museums, shops, cafés and restaurants. The harbour, for example, is located on the only natural bay in the Netherlands. It is home to shrimp fishermen, charter boats and pleasure yachts.
