Tilburg is one of the major city in the Netherlands and the poplar Tilburg university is located here.There are three railway stations within the municipality: Tilburg Centraal, Tilburg West, and Tilburg Reeshof. Tilburg grew up around one of the so-called "herd places", three-cornered plots where a number of roads (usually sand roads) met. These herd places were collective pasturelands for flocks of sheep.In the 15th century, one of the lords of Tilburg, Jan van Haestrecht, built Tilburg Castle. "That stone chamber at Hasselt" is mentioned in several historical documents. Unfortunately, in 1858 the castle had to make way for a factory. It lives on, however, in the city arms and logo.
