Sigriswil is a municipality in the district of Thun in the canton of Bern in Switzerland.

Archeological remains dating from the Late Neolithic and Bronze Age show that the area around Sigriswil has been inhabited as early as 5000 years ago. It's thought that the first modern inhabitants can be traced back to Alamanni tribesmen who settled on the banks of the lake of Thun around the 5th Century A.D., later moving on up into the higher elevations around the modern village of Sigriswil between the 8-10th century. Of historical interest is that in 1347, the inhabitants of Sigriswil were able to buy their independence in the Castle of Thun from Count Eberhard (a member of the Kyburg dynasty who had fallen on hard financial times) for the sum of 300 "Pfund Thuner Pfennige" (300 pounds of 'Thun Pennies'). Today, Sigriswil is a tranquil alpine farming village as well as a popular tourist resort.
