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."

Although the H. Severinus chapel stood here around 1350, the current church was only built around 1850. An old schoolroom from 1658 was converted into a church in 1851. This created a hall church with barrel vaults. The addition of two side wings with portals in 1937 changed this design. The front facade has two pointed arch windows and a round window. Striking is the climbing arch frieze in which pointed arches and entire circle shapes are also incorporated, as well as the clock face. The facade is crowned with a small bell tower.

The oldest, Romanesque, part is the base of the tower and the two westernmost bays. This part was built around 1200. A few decades later, the building was extended in Romanesque Gothic style, with a recessed semicircular apse being built on the east side. The beautiful brickwork was hidden for years by a layer of plaster. Halfway through the 20th century, the church was restored, with the brickwork being made visible again. (Source: [1] )
