Hoogstade

Hoogstade (formerly Hostede) is a village in the Belgian province of West Flanders. Administratively, it is a sub-municipality of Groot-Alveringem within the municipality of Alveringem. Until 1970, Hoogstade was an independent municipality. Hoogstade is largely agricultural and surrounded by farmland.

During World War I, the village saw significant Allied military activity due to its proximity to the Yser Front, but it emerged largely unscathed at the end of the war. The Hoogstade Belgian Military Cemetery contains the graves of Belgian troops killed in action, as well as a few British soldiers.
