Rijswijk Halal Travel Guide

Rijswijk has a population of about 46.000 and has few touristic attractions, but is one of the older townships in the nation. It is a suburb of The Hague and is attached to it, but it has kept its independence in many ways. The inhabitants will remind everybody of the fact that it is not The Hague.

Rijswijk was built in the Dutch coastal area, which used to be classified with the river delta. The coastal line was situated through Rijswijk at 3700BC, but gradually moved west over time. The oldest traces of inhabitants date back to 3500BC; in the new stone age. The 'Oude Kerk' (translated as 'Old Church') has played a part in the coming to be of the current village centre. Around 1200AD the Oude Kerk was built on a Roman predecessor. Around 1500AD the current church, which is still present, came to be. The village pump was built in 1831. Until then a bucket was used to get water from the old city well.
