Schagerbrug is a village in the Dutch province of North Holland. It is part of the municipality of Schagen, and was the main town of the former municipality of Zijpe. It lies about 2 km northwest of the town of Schagen.
History
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.{{cite web|url=https://etymologiebank.nl/trefwoord/schagerbrug |title=Schagerbrug - (geografische naam) |website=Etymologiebank |access-date=1 May 2022 |language=nl}} Schagerbrug is a cross shaped village with a linear settlement along the Groote Sloot and another linear settlement along the road. It would become the capital of the municipality of Zijpe.{{cite news|url=https://www.dbnl.org/tekst/sten009monu11_01/sten009monu11_01_0145.php |title=Schagerbrug |author=Ronald Stenvert & Saskia van Ginkel-Meester |publisher=Waanders |location=Zwolle |year=2006 |language=nl |access-date=1 May 2022}}
The Dutch Reformed church is aisleless church with a slender gable tower. It was built between 1850 and 1851. The polder mill Ooster-N was probably built around 1740. In 1962, a pumping station was added. It was restored between 1971 and 1976, and is frequently in use on a voluntary basis.{{cite web|url=https://molendatabase.nl/nederland/molen.php?nummer=708 |title=Molen Ooster-N |website=Molen database |access-date=1 May 2022 |language=nl}}
Schagerbrug was home to 312 people in 1840. In 1973, the Zijper Museum opened in the former town hall, and provides an overview of the poldering of the {{convert|6,700|ha}} area in 1597 which was a record-breaking attempt at the time. In 2013, it became part of the municipality of Schagen.{{cite web|url=https://www.plaatsengids.nl/schagerbrug |title=Schagerbrug |website=Plaatsengids |access-date=1 May 2022 |language=nl}}
