De Stolpen (sometimes just "Stolpen"VUGA's Alfabetische Plaatsnamengids van Nederland (13th edition), VUGA, 1997.) is a hamlet in the Dutch province of North Holland. It is part of the municipality of Schagen, and is located about 3 km northwest of the village of Schagerbrug.ANWB Topografische Atlas Nederland, Topografische Dienst and ANWB, 2005.
In 2005, the municipal council of the former municipality of Zijpe decided that the N9 road had to be moved; as a consequence, all of the houses in De Stolpen would have to be demolished. The national government changed this decision in December 2006, which saved the hamlet. This saved what is essentially a row of a few contiguous homes on the north side of the road.
