It is in the municipality of Koggenland, North Holland, about 5 km west of Hoorn.
History
The village was first mentioned around 1312 as Berchout, and means "deciduous forest of birch (Betula) trees". Berkhout developed in the 13th century as a peat excavation village.
The Dutch Reformed church is a T-shaped church in Renaissance Revival style built in 1884. The titittower(= was added in 1886.
Berkhout was home to 766 people in 1840. It was an independent municipality until 1979 when it was merged into Wester-Koggenland. In 2007, it became part of the municipality of Koggenland.
