Additional information:

The town has a light since a unknown date, but at least since 1800. The 1887 steel structure was deactivated in 1939 and disassembled in 1968, light range unknown, but probably > 8 nm. The town has two harbour-lights on pier heads too and they appear on the map at the same time as the lighthouse. The red one may have worked as a low front for a line of approach. Today the pierhead is restored and partly a replica.
 
The current main structure is a replica that was built in 1993 primary as piece of decor for a movie (filmed on location in Stavoren, hence NET-159?), and afterward donated to Lemmer). The fishing fleet of Lemmer can be recognized by LE as vessel registration.
