History of the Monument "Withof" in Teteringen:
Captain Carolus de Monix of the 8th Infantry Regiment Breda and Antoinetta Branger built a mansion at the corner of Hoolstraat and Oosterhoutseweg in Teteringen in 1854.
In 1915, the monks arrived in Teteringen and temporarily settled in Withof until the large missionary house "Zuiderhout" was completed on Oosterhoutseweg. The house was then colloquially known as the "Monk’s House." Later, a horse trader from Vught built a coach house and stables next door. In 1924, the house was named "Marie José" after the Schutte family who lived there at the time. In 1955, the name changed to Withof.
Petrus R. Martens opened a hotel-café-restaurant there on February 28, 1955. Withof became famous for its half chickens, which were served in unlimited amounts—up to 800 per week. On November 19, 1997, the restaurant closed its doors. The Martens children, who had taken over the restaurant in 1980, were all between 60 and 65 years old at the time.
The property was extensively renovated and restored between 1999 and 2001 under the guidance of the Heritage Agency, the National Restoration Fund, and the Municipality of Breda.
