The largest bunker, in which the fire control was located, has been restored and refitted as a fire controller as much as possible.
2. Oude Jeroenskerk
The Oude Jeroenskerk is a Gothic cruciform church in Noordwijk-Binnen, a former town within the Dutch municipality of Noordwijk. The church is named after the martyr Jeroen. He was beheaded by the Normans on 17 August 856 because he did not want to renounce his faith. The church is used by the Protestant Congregation of Noordwijk.
3. TOP Noordwijk - Hollands Duin
A Tourist Transfer Point (TOP) is a 'natural junction', where various cycling, sailing, skating and walking routes start. Each TOP is recognizable by its landmark, a kind of obelisk is used in the east of the country, a blade of grass in the Green Heart and a remarkably large information column in the Gooi & Vecht region and the Rivierenland region. At TOPs there are often also some seats, a bicycle rack and a signpost. TOPs in the Gooi & Vecht region are also always equipped with bicycle rental, catering, (free) toilets, an ANWB Bicycle Service Box and a VVV information point.
4. Space Expo
Space Expo is a permanent space exhibition in the Dutch town of Noordwijk, in the province of South Holland, near Katwijk. The Space Expo is also the official visitor centre of the ESTEC. The debriefing of a large number of astronauts also takes place here.
5. Watertoren
The Noordwijk Water Tower was designed in 1917 in Art Deco style by the Amsterdam architect F.A. Warners and the technical installation was provided by R.P. van Royen. On Warners' design drawing, the tower is richer and more expressively decorated than was eventually executed. According to a copper façade plaque with an inscription in the tower, it was inaugurated in 1920. The water tower was also intended as a watchtower, which is why a stairwell was added. To save on construction costs, the tower was built on a dune.
6. Hoogewegse Molen
The Hoogewegse Molen is a seesaw mill dating from 1652, located between the Dutch towns of Noordwijk and Voorhout. The mill served as a polder mill. In 1711 and 1938, major renovations were necessary after storm damage. The mill is still capable of grinding, but is only used voluntarily. It has a flight of 17.30/17.40 meters. Because the mill is located in an open area, it has a great scenic value.
7. Maria ter Zee
Maria ter Zeekerk is a three-aisled church located at Nieuwe Zeeweg 73 in Noordwijk aan Zee in the Dutch province of South Holland. The church was built in 1950 to a design by Jan van der Laan. Early Christian church building is based on traditionalist forms of the Bossche School. The ascending frieze with ornamental brickwork in a meander motif and the square window openings with wide lintel and dividing column are striking.
