The oldest stone along one of the Dutch borders is:<br/>
Bordermarker nr. 20 near De Lutte in the province of Overijssel.<br/>
This stone dates back to around 1480 !<br/>

&quot;De zandstenen grenssteen nr. 20 dateert uit omstreeks 1480 en draagt aan<br/>
weerszijden de wapens van het graafschap Bentheim. Het is de oudste<br/>
grenssteen langs de Nederlandse Rijksgrens.&quot;<br/>
<br/>
My translation:<br/>
The sandstone borderstone nr. 20 dates back to around 1480 en carries the<br/>
coat of arms of Grafschaft Bentheim at both sides. It is the oldest<br/>
bordermarker along the Dutch border.<br/>
