The village was first mentioned in the 12th century as "Albertus de Essuic", and means "settlement in the shrubbery".[3] Heeswijk is a stretched out settlement in the valley of brook and dates from the Early Middle Ages.[4]
The Premonstratensian abbey was established in the late-12th century as an outpost of the Berne Abbey. In 1546, "Het Slotje" was built for the monks as an L-shaped building with a square tower in the corner. After the Berne Abbey was dissolved in 1648, some monks moved to the Land van Ravenstein [nl], an enclave of Palatinate-Neuburg within the Dutch Republic, and founded a new abbey in Heeswijk. Between 1857 and 1868, a neoclassic monastery was built and a wing was added between the old and new buildings.[4][5]
The Catholic St Willibrordus Church was built between 1895 and 1896. The tower was damaged during World War II and replaced after the war.[4]Heeswijk Castle was originally built in the 12th century. In 1835, it was nearly doubled in size by Baron van den Bogaerde.[4]
Heeswijk was home to 225 people in 1840.[6] Heeswijk was a separate municipality until 1969, when it merged with the adjacent village of Dinther. Since 1 January 1994 it has been part of the larger municipality of Bernheze, which comprises Heesch, Heeswijk-Dinther, Loosbroek, Nistelrode and Vorstenbosch.,[7][8]
