The village was first mentioned around 1312 as Berchout, and means "deciduous forest of birch (Betula) trees".[3] Berkhout developed in the 13th century as a peat excavation village.[4]

The Dutch Reformed church is a T-shaped church in Renaissance Revival style built in 1884. The tower was added in 1886.[4]
