Les incontournables à Noordwijk

Noordwijk Must-Sees

Noordwijk combines scientific innovation with centuries of Dutch history. It hosts the Space Expo, the European Space Agency’s visitor center, alongside 17th-century landmarks like Keukenhof Castle and the Hoogeveensemolen windmill. The town’s maritime and military past is visible in its Art Deco water tower and the AtlantikWall Museum, located within a former German bunker complex. Religious heritage is represented by the Oude Jeroenskerk and Sint-Jeroenskerk, while the Langevelderslag offers access to the expansive North Sea coastline and dunes.
