Where to stay in Stiphout
Each area has its own feel; here's who each one suits.
Rooms in Stiphout itself are thin on the ground, so the choice runs between the streets around the Sint-Trudokerk and the larger stock two kilometres east in Helmond. Stiphout's own beds number a handful. Anyone arriving for the Bavaria Profronde weekend should book well ahead, because the village roads fill with spectators and the nearest spare rooms end up nearer the centre of Helmond instead.
Quiet nights are the trade.

About Stiphout
What are the main landmarks in Stiphout?
Sint-Trudokerk is the name to know. The church stands at the centre of Stiphout, giving the village a landmark of its own rather than one borrowed from Helmond, and the name itself records a dedication to Saint Trudo. One festival matches it.
The Bavaria Profronde turns the village roads into a race circuit and draws a crowd from well outside North Brabant, so the calendar rather than the architecture supplies the second landmark.
What is the history of Stiphout?
Written records start in 1155. Stiphout appears in that year under the name Villa Stilpot, a first mention that fixes the village's documented age and gives it a past of its own inside the municipality of Helmond. The anniversary came round in 2005.
Eight hundred and fifty years after the Villa Stilpot record, the village held its own celebration, marking a story that runs separately from the wider history of Helmond and the North Brabant towns around it.
Where is Stiphout?
Stiphout lies about two kilometres west of the centre of Helmond, on the level North Brabant ground between the city edge and open farmland.
