Schagerbrug

Schagerbrug is a village in the Dutch province of North Holland.

It lies about 2 km northwest of the town of Schagen.

The village was first mentioned in 1613 as Schagerbrugge, and means "bridge (over the Groote Sloot on the road to) Schagen".

The village developed shortly after the area was poldered in 1579.

In 1973, the Zijper Museum opened in the former town hall, and provides an overview of the poldering of the 6,700 hectares (17,000 acres) area in 1597 which was a record-breaking attempt at the time.
