Rijswijk, Municipality in South Holland, Netherlands
Rijswijk extends across 14.49 square kilometers of land near The Hague, with residential areas, laboratories, and a fruit market within its boundaries.
The Treaties of Rijswijk, signed in 1697 at Nieuwburg Castle, ended conflicts between France, England, Netherlands, Spain, and the Holy Roman Empire.
The Reformed church from the 14th century stands among numerous 17th-century houses, representing different periods of Dutch architectural development.
The municipality maintains multiple parks including Hoekpolder, Plaspoelpolder, and Wilhelminapark, offering green spaces for outdoor activities throughout the year.
A 21-meter obelisk, erected in 1792 on former castle grounds, marks the location where European nations signed peace treaties.
