History
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.[1]
The Dutch Reformed church is an aisleless church with a partially built-in tower. It was constructed in 1867 as a replacement of its 15th-century predecessor.[1] 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.[2]
Zonnemaire was home to 442 people in 1840.[3] It was a separate municipality until 1961, when it was merged with Brouwershaven.[4] In 1997, it became part of the municipality of Schouwen-Duiveland.[3]
