Berg, Belgium

Berg is a sub-municipality of Kampenhout in the province Flemish Brabant. It is the second-largest borough in terms of both area and population (after Kampenhout). South of Berg is the nature reserve "Torfbroek."'

Toponymy

Berg owes its name to the fact that the church is located on a small hill (about 26 meters above sea level). In the past, this church could be seen from quite a distance, because there were few other buildings except a few farms.
