History

The village was first mentioned between 1280 and 1287 as "Hoghe made", and means "elevated hay land". [3] Hoogmade is a peat excavation settlement which developed in the Middle Ages. [4]

The Dutch Reformed church is an aisleless church with open wooden tower built between 1729 and 1730 as a replacement of the medieval church. The Catholic Onze-Lieve-Vrouw-Geboorte church is an aisleless church with built-in tower with needle spire. It was built between 1931 and 1932 to replace the 1875 church which had collapsed. [4] On 4 November 2019, the Onze-Lieve-Vrouw-Geboorte church was severely damaged by fire. [5] With the help of many volunteers to raise money, three years after this fire the rebuilding of the church has started [6]

The polder mill Doesmolen was built around 1636. It was in service until 1953. In 1965, it was restored and functions on a voluntary basis. [7]

Hoogmade was home to 311 people in 1840. [8] It was a separate municipality between 1817 and 1855, when it merged with Woubrugge. [9] In 2009, it became part of the municipality of Kaag en Braassem. [8]
