Bezienswaardigheden in De Haan

De Haan Must-Sees

De Haan is defined by its 'Concession' district, a seaside residential area preserved since 1889 with strict building codes that prevented high-rise development. This collection highlights the town's architectural heritage, featuring the historic 1902 wooden tram station and the white Spioenkop pavilion atop a 31-meter dune. The list also includes the restored 17th-century Geersensmolen in Klemskerke and the town's original 1899 municipal hall, showcasing the regional Belle Époque style.
