The history of the Schildkerk begins with the conquest of Twente, then still called Tubanti, by the Franks from the Saxons in the first half of the 8th century. Subsequently, the Anglo-Saxon missionaries Lebuïnus, Marcellinus, Liudger and Plechelmus traveled through the region to preach the gospel. According to tradition, Lebuïnus founded a wooden chapel on the Schild. Presumably between the years 770 and 773. In the center of Rijssen, where this wooden chapel stood centuries ago, now stands the Schildkerk or Grote Kerk. Over the centuries, the current church was created through various renovations. The last renovation/expansion dates from 1925. The current church is a hall church with three naves, completely vaulted in stone. The church is owned by the Reformed Church of Rijssen and the tower is owned by the civil municipality. The Schildkerk is a national monument. The history of the church is being mapped by archivists H. Smit and J. Voortman of the Reformed Church. For the unlocking of historical images, cooperation with the platform Erfgoed Rijssen-Holten has been chosen.
