History
Sier was a village on the Dutch island of Ameland, located to the west of Hollum. At its height in the 1500s, it reportedly had around 20 fishing boats. It was also said to have had a lighthouse. The village was slowly consumed by the advancing dunes, and later by the sea, and its last house burned down around 1730.
