Sijbekarspel is a village in the Dutch province of North Holland. It is a part of the municipality of Medemblik, and lies about 10 km northwest of Hoorn.
Sijbekarsel consists of one long road, with a ribbon of buildings around it. On the east, it is connected to Benningbroek.
History
The village was first mentioned around 1312 as Siboutskerspel, and means "parish of Sybout (person)."[3] Sijbekarspel developed in the 11th century as a peat excavation settlement.[4]
The Dutch Reformed church is a single aisled church with ridge turret. The nave dates from 1547. The wooden ridge turret was added in 1861 after the tower was demolished.[4]
Sijbekarspel was home to 372 people in 1840.[5] In 1887, a joint railway station with Benningbroek opened on the Hoorn to Medemblik railway line. The line closed in 1941.[6]
It was a separate municipality until 1979. On 1 January 1979 it merged with the municipalities of Abbekerk, Midwoud, Opperdoes and Twisk and the village of Hauwert into the new municipality of Noorder-Koggenland. On 1 January 2007 Noorder-Koggenland merged with the municipalities of Medemblik and Wognum into Medemblik.[7]
