Katwijk Essentials

Katwijk blends maritime heritage with modern scientific exploration. The coastal town features the 17th-century Vuurbaak lighthouse and the late-Gothic Andreaskerk alongside the Katwijks Museum, housed in a former shipowner's home. Beyond the shore, the Space Expo serves as the visitor center for the European Space Agency, while CORPUS offers an interactive journey through the human body. Cultural highlights include the TheaterHangaar, located in a former airfield hangar, and the historic Spinozahuis, where philosopher Baruch Spinoza lived and worked.
