Berghem (older spelling: Berchem) is a town in the Dutch municipality of Oss. It is located about 4 km northeast of Oss itself.

History

The village was first mentioned in 1286 as Berchem, and means "settlement on a hill".[3]

The Catholic St Willibrordus Church has been built between 1900 and 1903 adjacent to a 15th century tower. The medieval was replaced in 1858, but burnt down in 1895.[4]

Berghem was home to 1,906 people in 1804.[5] Until 1994, Berghem was a separate municipality, when it was merged into Oss.[6]
