Lithoijen is a village in the Dutch province of North Brabant. It is located in the municipality of Oss, about 5 km northwest of the city of Oss.
History
The village was first mentioned between 987 and 996 as Littam, and means "land on a river near Lith".[1]
The Catholic St. Remigus Church was built between 1900 and 1901. The tower has a slender needle spire. The former Franciscan monastery was built around 1895 in Gothic Revival style. Until 1950, it housed a girls boarding school.[2] In 1833, a fort was built in Lithoijen, because an attack was feared during the Belgian Revolution. It was never used, and decommissioned in 1886. Only elevations in the landscape reveal its presence.[3]
Lithoijen was home to 735 people in 1840.[4] Lithoijen was a separate municipality until 1939, when it became part of Lith.[5] In 2011, it became part of the municipality of Oss.[4]
