With its military heritage, the village of Rijen boasts a fascinating history. At the Gilze-Rijen Air Base Tradition Room, you dive into the history of aviation. The collection gives a clear picture of the history and role the airbase has played in the development of Dutch civil and military aviation. The core of Rijen is also worth exploring. Walk the interactive historical village walk and settle down on the cosy Wilhelminaplein afterwards. Here you can shop and enjoy a snack and drink.
