Den Hout is a village in the Dutch province of North Brabant. It is located in the municipality of Oosterhout.[3][4]

The village was first mentioned in 1311 as "Rolinus dictus van den Houte", and means deciduous forest.[5] The area around Den Hout was settled during Roman times, but abandoned in 273.[4] Den Hout developed in the Middle Ages around a triangular village 'square'.[6]

The St Cornelius Church was built in 1877 and 1878 in Gothic Revival style and as an octagon spire.[6]

Den Hout was home to 650 people in 1840.[4]
