It is a part of the municipality of Medemblik, and lies about 12 km north of Hoorn.
The village of Lambertschaag is built along one road, going from Abbekerk on the south to the Wieringermeer polder on the north.
== History == The village was first mentioned around 1312 as Lambrechtscoch, and is a combination of "land on water" and Lambert of Maastricht, the patron saint of the village.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://etymologiebank.nl/trefwoord/lambertschaag |title=Lambertschaag - (geografische naam) |website=Etymologiebank |access-date=1 May 2022 |language=nl}}</ref> Lambertschaag developed in the late-11th century as a peat excavation village of Abbekerk. It used to have a little fishing harbour until the Wieringermeer was ''poldered'' between 1929 and 1930.<ref name="monument">{{cite news|url=https://www.dbnl.org/tekst/sten009monu11_01/sten009monu11_01_0100.php |title=Lamberschaag |author=Ronald Stenvert & Saskia van Ginkel-Meester |publisher=Waanders |location=Zwolle |year=2006 |language=nl |access-date=1 May 2022}}</ref>
