The Free or High Lordship of Zuid-Polsbroek (Dutch: "vrije of hoge heerlijkheid") was a type of local jurisdiction with many rights.

Zuid-Polsbroek, or Polsbroek, was an allodium[1] and a free or high heerlijkheid,[2] a type of local jurisdiction with many rights.

Zuid-Polsbroek was a half-independent (semi-sovereign) entity of the provinces Holland or Utrecht, like the larger Barony of IJsselstein to the east.

During the late middle ages it became unsure if Zuid-Polsbroek originally belonged to the States of Holland or to the province (unie) of Utrecht.

[9] As for the extent of the property, he was recorded in the books in Jacob Dircksz de Graeff's ownership in 1623 with 692 acres of land and 56 houses.
