Kaag en Braassem

Built around the lakes, polders and waterways of the Dutch peatland, Kaag en Braassem became a South Holland municipality in 2009 through the merger of Alkemade and Jacobswoude. Braassemermeer lies at its centre, while the Kagerplassen lake district extends across its western side, linking the area to one of the Randstad’s established sailing landscapes. Villages including Roelofarendsveen reflect the region’s long association with greenhouse horticulture; cultivated plots and glasshouses remain part of the local economy. Water routes, dykes and open pasture give this low-lying municipality a distinctly Dutch rhythm, closer to small settlements than to an urban centre.
