  1. It's the lighthouse in Noordwijk aan Zee. Noordwijk is a town/municipality in the south west of the Netherlands; the part of this town close to the North Sea is called 'Noordwijk aan Zee' (literally: Noordwijk at Sea), http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noordwijk .
    More about this lighthouse you can find here: http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vuurtoren_van_Noordwijk_aan_Zee (alas only in Dutch, but with nice pictures of details of this lighthouse). By the way, the Dutch word for 'lighthouse' is 'vuurtoren', which literally means 'fire tower'.
