Sion, Residential hamlet in Rijswijk, Netherlands.

The residential area of Sion spans across 79 hectares at the border between Rijswijk and the municipalities of Delft and Midden-Delfland.

In 1345, monks established the Sancta Maria in Monte Sion monastery, which was later demolished in 1572 during military conflicts with Spanish forces.

The Novo Sion art route displays 16 artworks made of corten steel and concrete reliefs throughout the neighborhood, representing the area's monastic past.

Modern Sion offers various housing options, including family homes with gardens, two-on-one houses, detached residences, and apartments for sale or rent.

Archaeological excavations in 2015 revealed remains of the medieval monastery, including chapel foundations, water wells, and human skeletal remains.
