The villages, and former municipalities, Berkel-Enschot and Udenhout were annexed by Tilburg in 1996. Berkel-Enschot is itself made up of two former villages, with Berkel forming the northern part and Enschot the southern. Udenhout is located north of Berkel-Enschot.
Berkel-Enschot
The Old tower in Enschot is what remains of a medieval church, the St. Michaël. On each side of the tower a trave of a side-aisle is left. Although the tower dates from the early-15th century, when Gothic was the common style for churches, it is still in Romanesque style. The rest of the church was demolished in 1839.
The neo-Gothic St. Cecilia of Enschot dates from 1898-1899 and was designed by C. Franssen. It replaced a barn church which was built in 1672.
In Berkel a late-medieval chapel was used as a church. Architect H.J. van Tulder added a tower to this chapel in 1857. In 1910 the chapel was replaced by this new St. Willibrordus, designed by J. Stuyt. The tower was retained but was covered by a new layer of bricks.
The trappist monastery Onze Lieve Vrouw van Koningshoeven is located south of the village, near Tilburg. This big complex in neo-Gothic style dates from 1891-1894 and was designed by A.G. de Beer.
