Stenen Baak is a deactivated lighthouse built in 1650 northeast of Oostvoorne in South Holland, Netherlands, now a designated Rijksmonument. Constructed to protect the entrance to Brielle harbour—a strategic anchorage formed by the island of Voorne-Putten and surrounding waterways—the stone beacon emitted a fixed light visible up to four miles in fair conditions. It was decommissioned in 1850, having long served ships seeking refuge from the North Sea's tides and currents.
