1910s Badplaats Netherlands Vintage Postcard, Villa Zandheuvel Welkom Saskia

About This Vintage Postcard

This antique monochromatic postcard features a scenic view of the seaside resort (Badplaats) of Noordwijk in the Netherlands. The image captures several grand villas situated on the dunes, including the identified Villa Zandheuvel, Villa Welkom, and Villa Saskia. A brick road winds through the foreground, with several figures standing near a fence line. These villas represent the early twentieth-century development of Noordwijk aan Zee as a premier coastal destination for the Dutch elite and international tourists.
