Hotel Duinzicht - Schiermonnikoog - The Netherlands - Photos Then and Now on Waymarking.com

On June 7, 1913, Mr. van der Ben on the Badweg on Schiermonnikoog opened the doors of Pension Duinzigt for the first time. Mr.'s new pension van der Ben had simple rooms. The Badweg was then definitively undeveloped and there was hardly any tourism here in those years. Over the years, tourism on Schiermonnikoog increased and with the future of more guests, there was a lot on the aailand, as the people of Groningen always say. To keep up with the times, the accommodation has been continuously adapted and expanded over the years. After a number of expansions, the name changed from Pension Duinzigt to Hotel Pension Duinzicht and later back to the current name: Hotel Duinzicht.
The hotel has been run by various families over the years. It started with the founders, the van der Ben family, and then the management was in the hands of the Reinhart, Schuurman, Soepboer, Talsma Sr., Speelman and Talsma Jr. families.

Since April 1999, the hotel on the Badweg, the street that runs through the village to the beach, has been run by the Harthoorn family. Gilles Harthoorn had been working at the hotel for a number of years and when the opportunity arose to continue the business independently, Gilles and his wife Ina decided to take over the management of the hotel.
