Hillegom, Dutch municipality in South Holland, Netherlands

The Hillegom municipality stretches over 13.48 square kilometers, featuring residential areas surrounded by flower fields and agricultural land at 1 meter above sea level.

The settlement originated before the year 1000, deriving its name from the abbey Hijlighem, meaning Holy Home in Old Frankish language.
