Siggerud

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Siggerud is a village in the municipality of Ski, Norway, just a few kilometres away from the border of the municipality of Oslo where most of Siggerud's population work. Its population (2005) is 1,353, but probably over 2000 if you count the area around.

Siggerud is a small place, but has recently hosted a number of celebrities, some of which are even known outside Norway. The most famous is probably Lasse Kjus who won the alpine World Cup twice. Other celebrities from Siggerud include Christian Ingebrigtsen, who used to be in the boy band A1, and Trude Mostue, well-known in the UK as "Trude the Vet", plus various local celebrities, amongs other people including Christan's dad Stein Ingebrigtsen. Not bad for a village with a couple thousand inhabitants.
