History
The village was first mentioned around 1312 as Siboutskerspel, and means "parish of Sybout (person)."[1] Sijbekarspel developed in the 11th century as a peat excavation settlement.[2]
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.[2]
Sijbekarspel was home to 372 people in 1840.[3] In 1887, a joint railway station with Benningbroek opened on the Hoorn to Medemblik railway line. The line closed in 1941.[4]
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.[5]
