Castle the Strijdhoef
The present castle De Strijdhoef on the Schoorstraat in Udenhout stands on the old feudal estate De Strijdhoeven. This feudal estate stretched from the village center to one of the tributaries of the small river Zandleij. Not much is known about the oldest history. What is known is that the estate was divided. There were two farms, better known as the Grote Strijdhoeve and the Kleine Strijdhoeve, which were leased separately.

Valuable sites Bernse Hoef, Duikse Hoef, Kraanven
Between Kaatsheuvel and Loon op Zand, from north to south, there are two large farms (now actually hamlets) and a hamlet with ribbon development. These are respectively the Bernse Hoef, Duikse Hoef and Kraanven. The first dates from the (late) fourteenth century, the Duikse Hoef and Kraanven are even older. The Duikse Hoef owes its name to Willem Duyc of Niemantsvrient who bought twelve acres of heathland in 1398 at Loon op Zand.

Moffelhoeve
At the Schoorstraat in Udenhout lies, on a sandy elevation, a farm with fields named Moffelhoeve. The complex was from 1269(!) in possession of the lords of Loon op Zand. That this development farm is old is shown by the course of the Schoorstraat. This originally ran in a straight line from the current Slimstraat to the Moffelhoeve. The Moffelhoeve was originally called 'Moffenhoeve'. To avoid problems with the occupying forces, the name was changed during World War II.
