Schildkerk

Centuries-old church in the center of Rijssen. At the end of the 8th century, Lebuines built the first church on this site. Over the centuries, the church has been rebuilt several times. In the years 1828-1829 a new tower was built on the extension of the church.

Park Building

The park building was built in 1914 by the architect Karel Muller on behalf of the jute manufacturer Ter Horst. It still fulfills its original function for cultural purposes and as a meeting place and place to relax.

Rijssens Leemspoor

At the foot of the Rijsserberg, there is a section of a narrow gauge railway on which the brick factories transported their raw materials about 100 years ago. The narrow gauge railway was used to transport clay from the quarry to the factories. You can visit and ride this track between the beginning of April and the end of October.
