Stenen Baak, Stone lighthouse in Oostvoorne, Netherlands.

The square brick tower of Stenen Baak reaches 15 meters in height and stands near the Brielle harbor entrance.

Built in 1650 to replace earlier wooden structures, the lighthouse guided ships through the Maas estuary until its deactivation in 1850.

The structure received recognition as a Rijksmonument, marking its status as a protected Dutch national heritage site.

Located at coordinates 51°55′40″N and 4°08′26″E, the tower now functions as an extension of the Historisch Museum Den Briel.

During the 18th century, the lighthouse integrated into a military defense system with a battery and ball heating furnace for cannon operations.
