Helvoirt

Helvoirt (Dutch pronunciation: [ˈɦɛlvoːrt]) is a village and part of the municipality of Vught, Netherlands.

The village was first mentioned in 1192 as Hellevorth, and means "clear fordable place".

[3] Helvoirt developed in the Middle Ages on the road from Tilburg to 's-Hertogenbosch.

Castle Zwijnsbergen was built near the village and Helvoirt became a heerlijkheid.

The Catholic St Nicolaas Church was built between 1901 and 1903 in Gothic Revival style and has a large highly decorated tower.
