Zonnemaire is a village in the municipality of Schouwen-Duiveland in the Dutch province of Zeeland. It lies about 19km (12miles) southwest of Hellevoetsluis. In 2021, Zonnemaire had a population of 755.
Zonnemaire was named after Sonnemare, the water between the former islands of Bommenede and Schouwen. Zonnemarie is a road village which was first mentioned in 985 when it became owned by the Count of Holland. The current village developed after the Zonnemairepolder which was reclaimed in 1401.[3]
The Dutch Reformed church is an aisleless church with a partially build-in tower. It was constructed in 1867 as a replacement of its 15th century predecessor.[3] The grist mill De Korenbloem was built in 1872 and was in service until 1961. It was extensively restored between 1991 and 1992; it operates on a voluntary basis.[4]
Zonnemaire was home to 442 people in 1840. It was a separate municipality until 1961, when it was merged with Brouwershaven. In 1997, it became part of the municipality of Schouwen-Duiveland.[5]
Zonnemaire is the birthplace of Pieter Zeeman, who shared the 1902 Nobel Prize in Physics with Hendrik Lorentz for his discovery of the Zeeman effect.
