History
The village was first mentioned in 1286 as Berchem, and means "settlement on a hill".
The Catholic St Willibrordus Church has been built between 1900 and 1903 adjacent to a 15th-century tower. The medieval structure was replaced in 1858, but burnt down in 1895.
Berghem was home to 1,906 people in 1804. Until 1994, Berghem was a separate municipality, when it was merged into Oss.
