History
Sigerswâld used to be a village. In 1482, five nuns from Hoorn arrive in the area after having fled from the Hook and Cod wars. They move into the abandoned church. The Bishop of Utrecht allows them to start the convent Sinaï. During the Reformation, the monastery was forced to close, and was demolished in 1581.
