About Broekhoven
Where to stay in Broekhoven
The right area depends on your trip — here's what each neighbourhood is best for.
The Sint Willibrordkerk is the marker. Broekhoven keeps no hotel quarter of its own in the record, so the practical choice is between a room near that church and a bed back in Tilburg proper with a short ride out. The second marker is domestic.
Bovenmeestershuis in Neo-Barokke stijl sits on the other side of the district's short list, and a stay pitched near it trades the church end for the district's other recorded corner.
About Broekhoven
What are the main landmarks in Broekhoven?
Two buildings, and that is all. The Sint Willibrordkerk supplies the church half of Broekhoven's record, and Bovenmeestershuis in Neo-Barokke stijl supplies the domestic half, a house catalogued for its style rather than for anything that happened in it. Beyond those two, nothing further is catalogued.
Visitors working from the record alone will find Broekhoven a short walk between one church and one house, with Tilburg carrying every other name worth the detour.
What is the history of Broekhoven?
The sources fix no date of origin. Broekhoven reaches the register through Tilburg, and the two entries filed under its name, the Sint Willibrordkerk and Bovenmeestershuis in Neo-Barokke stijl, are the whole of what the sources attach to it. Everything else runs through the city.
That leaves Broekhoven a district known by a neo-baroque house and a single church, with no charter, no founding year and no chronicle of its own in the record.
Where is Broekhoven?
The Sint Willibrordkerk and the Bovenmeestershuis stand on temperate ground north of the equator, fixing Broekhoven's place within Tilburg.
