History
It was first mentioned in 893 as Rotheheym, and means "settlement near cleared forest". It developed into a stretched out esdorp with a centre near the church and one near the castle. The Dutch Reformed Church was a tower of the 16th century with 12th century elements. The church dates from 1860. Huis Rossum was a castle from the 13th century. It was destroyed in 1599 during the Siege of Zaltbommel, and the remainder was demolished in 1740. In 1848, a manor house was constructed on the site of the former castle. In 1840, Rossum was home to 845 people.
