Château St. Gerlach



The St. Gerlach Estate is tucked away in the unspoiled natural environment of the Geul Valley and the Ingendael nature reserve.

With its own extensive parks, vineyard, herb garden, orchard, rose garden, and its church with splendid 18th-century frescoes , the Château’s setting is utterly delightful.

The historic buildings date back to the year 1200 and were once a monastery built to accommodate pilgrims who had come to pay homage to hermit Gerlach of Houthem. The guest rooms, housed in the former farmstead, boast views of Baroque gardens.

President George W. Bush visited the château in August 2005.
