History
The village was first mentioned in 1226 as "de Sigerdachurke", and means "settlement of Syerd (person)".[2] Siddeburen is a road village which developed on a sandy ridge in the late 12th century.[3] The village originally consisted of two parallel linear settlements.[4]
The Dutch Reformed church dates from around 1200. The tower was enlarged several times, but partially rebuilt and lowered in 1832.[3] The church was restored in the mid-20th century.[4]
Siddeburen was home to 1,335 people in 1840.[4]
