The Den Oever Lighthouse is a cast iron lighthouse located in Den Oever the Netherlands on the Wadden Sea. Erected in 1885 it was originally located at the western end of the former island of Wieringen where it served as the rear light of a pair of leading lights. In 1930 when the Afsluitdijk was finished the tower was relocated to the eastern end of Wieringen at Den Oever. While the light was first directed the Wadden Sea it was moved southward in 1932 and turned to face the Ijsselmeer.
