FIRE BEACON

Twenty story poles highlight the history and heritage of the Haarlemmermeer polder.
Already in the 16th century, the lighthouse would remind the ships of the estuary of the river Spaarne. Between 1849 and 1852, the fires in pumping station De Cruquius were burning to beat the Waterwolf with steam power.
