A monk in Turholt (Torhout), he shared a missionary trip to Scandinavia with his friend Ansgar, whom he later succeeded as archbishop in Hamburg-Bremen in 865.[1] He also wrote a biography about Ansgar, Vita Ansgari.
Rimbert is revered as a saint particularly in Friesland. His feast day is 4 February.
