For the first time, the settlement was mentioned as the Old Rus fortress Ivan-gorod in 1151, but already in 1241 it was destroyed by the hordes of Batyi. In Ivan Hill tract has preserved an ancient settlement and the ramparts of a later Polish fortress. In 1506, King Sigismund I revived the Dnipro line of defense and granted Rzhyshchiv the Magdeburg Law.
For a long time the city belonged to the noble family of Voronychys, on whose initiative Orthodox churches and monasteries were built. On the territory of the Transfiguration Monastery in 1653, the first meeting of Hetman Bohdan Khmelnitsky with the Moscow embassy took place. The new citadel of Rzhyshchiv in the 18th century became the defensive Trinitarian Mosnastyr with the Church of the Holy Trinity, destroyed during the Soviet era. On the hill at the entrance to the city, there are the remains of the Lipki park of the Dolhoruky estate, where the Decembrists gathered. Then it became the property of the Fadeev family (their grandchildren were Olena Blavatska, Serhiy Vitte).
When creating the Kaniv Reservoir in 1972, several neighboring villages were flooded; on the opposite bank of the Dnipro, a half-flooded church was preserved.
Rzhyshchiv hosts the annual ethnic festival "Trypillya Kolo".

Тривалий час місто належало шляхетському роду Вороничей, з чиєї ініціативи будувалися православні храми та монастирі. На території Преображенського монастиря в 1653 році відбулася перша зустріч гетьмана Богдана Хмельницького з московським посольством. Новою цитаделлю Ржищева в XVIII столітті став оборонний Тринітарський монастир з костелом Святої Трійці, знищений за радянської влади. На пагорбі при в'їзді в місто збереглися залишки парку "Липки" садиби Довгоруких, де збиралися декабристи. Потім вона перейшла у власність родини Фадєєвих (їх внуками були Олена Блаватська, Сергій Вітте).
При створенні Канівського водосховища в 1972 році було затоплено кілька навколишніх сіл, на протилежному березі Дніпра збереглася напівзатоплена церква.
У Ржищеві проходить щорічний етнічний фестиваль "Трипільське коло".

Flooded church
Temple , Architecture
During the creation of the Kaniv Reservoir in 1972, several villages on the outskirts of Rzhyshchiv were flooded. On the site of the former village of Husyntsi, the half-flooded Transfiguration Church with a bell tower has been preserved.
It was built by the local landowner Husynskyi in 1812 (according to other data, in 1822). The temple in the Ukrainian Baroque style stood on a hill that turned into an island. It could only be reached by water in summer, and in winter it was possible to approach it on ice from the opposite bank of the Dnipro from Rzhyshchiv (difficult access through the forest).
For a long time, the church remained dilapidated. In 2009, shore strengthening works, raising the level of the island and reconstruction of the temple began. A long bridge connects the island with the shore, where the Nicholas monastery-hermitage was recently founded. In the summer, you can organize a trip to the island by boat from the Rzhyshchiv pier.

After the Franco-Russian war in 1812, the future Decembrists Bestuzhev-Ryumin, the Muravyov-Apostol brothers, Prince Trubetsky visited the Rzhyshchiv estate of the Dolhorukys.
