Rijmenam is a village located in the Belgian province of Antwerp and is part of the municipality of Bonheiden.
In 1578, the Dutch States Army and Spanish forces fought the Battle of Rijmenam over control of Mechelen.
The village was almost completely destroyed, and rebuilt twenty years later.
[2] Rijmenam has a triangle-shaped open space with tilia trees, which was used for trials by the Franks.
In 1977, it was merged into Bonheiden except for the hamlet Peulis [nl] which became part of Putte.
