Rossum lies in the Bommelerwaard, in the municipality of Maasdriel, on the south bank of the Waal. The village has some 2,800 inhabitants and sits close to the water, on a river ridge between the Maas and the Waal. Below you will find our current listings and recently sold homes in Rossum.
The village arose on a river ridge between the Maas and the Waal, where the two rivers come very close together. The Peutinger map shows a Roman fort at this spot, named Grinnibus. During the Eighty Years' War there were Spanish fortifications here, notably Fort Sint-Andries; the Sint Andries Canal was dug in 1599. Between 1931 and 1937 the course of the Maas was moved.
