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