The first mention of a lighthouse in Noordwijk was in 1444 when fishermen returned home when the sun went down. The light was lit only when fishermen were active at sea. In the 19th century a wooden platform built which was replaced in 1854 by a stone turret. This light was demolished in 1913.
The current tower was built in 1921 as a reconnaissance tower for shipping, and its first lighting was at August 23, 1923. Ten years later the tower was painted white to protect it against the water.
