Berlicum is a town in the south of the Netherlands, located in North Brabant's Meierij region near the city of 's-Hertogenbosch and the river Aa.
Funding was provided by a government programme to compensate the loss of historically catholic church buildings during the Reformation period.
In the face of secularization and rising maintenance costs, the diocese of 's-Hertogenbosch decided to close the church of Saint Peter in 2012.
The N279 highway along the Zuid-Willemsvaart canal connects the town with the two major commercial and industrial hubs in the region: 's-Hertogenbosch to the northwest and Veghel to the southeast.
Regular public transport between these cities is provided by Arriva bus line 158, which has multiple stops in Berlicum.
