Dutch Reformed Church. Of this building, only the tufa substructure of the tower, the interior of which is covered with a dome vault, should be considered a monument; 13th century. Restored in 1953 after the destruction of the church and the tower in 1944.

In 1296, a parish in Sint Kruis was first mentioned, which was subordinate to the Ter Doest Abbey. Due to flooding, partly as a result of the Geuzen breaching the dikes in 1584 to stop the Spanish troops, the area was flooded and was not drained again until 1651. The current church building dates largely from the 14th century and initially consisted of a single-nave church with a tower. In 1467 and 1483, the church was enlarged to a three-nave church with a choir and transept. This church was badly damaged during the Dutch Revolt, but in 1652 it was restored to serve as a Reformed church building. What remained was a single-nave church with a straight-ended nave and the tower. Another renovation took place in 1872. In 1944, the church was badly damaged by war violence and was restored in 1948-1949.

The church of Rijswijk is mentioned in 1369 when Willem VI van Horne, Lord of Altena, gives goods in fief to Vastraet van Giessen, including the ferry of Andel that lies between "Veenregraven" and the church of Rijswijk. From the church visitations of Bishop Metsius it can be concluded that the church is dedicated to St. Stephanus. Historians estimate this church to be very old. During research and excavations, the foundations of a tuff stone hall church from around 1100 were exposed, with a tower on the west side. This old church must have been badly damaged by the many floods of the Maas in the middle of the 13th century. The restoration will have taken place around 1265, after the church hill was first raised considerably. The battle against the water appears to be an eternal one for the church. After repairs were made with great difficulty in the 16th century, the old church succumbed during the flood of 1809. The church was demolished down to its tuff foundation. Much later, a new church was built on the same site, of which the following was written in the middle of the 19th century: "The church stands outside the dike in the Rotgans. It is old and not very large and has a long tower, flat-roofed on top, but is not equipped with an organ. The choir has completely collapsed, except for a few pieces of dilapidated masonry."
