Rijssen, Historical trade town in Overijssel, Netherlands
The town features the Schildkerk church, residential neighborhoods, commercial districts, and industrial areas spread across the eastern Netherlands landscape.
Rijssen received official town privileges in 1243 from Bishop Otto III van Holland following a territorial dispute with the Viscount of Goor.
The local dialect Riessens represents a distinct variety of Low Saxon with specific pronunciation patterns and vocabulary developed through centuries of local usage.
The N347 and N350 provincial roads connect Rijssen to the A1 motorway, while regular bus services operate throughout all residential districts.
The restored Pelmolen mill stands as one of the remaining structures from the town's early industrial period, when textile manufacturing dominated the local economy.
