- Vrije en Lage Boekhorst
Vrije en Lage Boekhorst ("Free and Low Boekhorst") is a former municipality in the Dutch province of
South Holland . It was located to the west of the hamlet of Zevenhuizen in the present municipality ofAlkemade .The municipality existed between 1817 and 1855, when it became part of Alkemade. The area used to be a separate manor, but it was added in 1812 to the municipality of
Noordwijkerhout as anexclave , even though that village lay almost 10km away. Presumably this happened because the area was confused with Hooge Boekhorst ("High Boekhorst") near Noordwijkerhout.
