The St. Gerlach Estate is tucked away in the Geul Valley and the Ingendael nature reserve. Extensive parks, a vineyard, herb garden, orchard, rose garden, and its church with splendid 18th century frescoes, secure an enchanting setting for the Château, which dates back to the year 1200 and was once a monastery built to accommodate pilgrims who had come to pay homage to hermit Gerlach of Houthem. The guestrooms, housed in the former farmstead, boast views of Baroque gardens. The restaurant, which has lost nothing of its aristocratic décor, serves fine French cuisine, while the bistro Burgemeester Quicx offers the guests a more informal setting.

Our commitments

Château St. Gerlach is enamoured by the beauty of the Limburg countryside. 
In order to preserve it, Château St. Gerlach sees controlling and limiting the environmental impact and risks as a key responsibility of its management and staff. The Green Key guidelines provide the structural basis for this policy. Green Key is an international certificate which represents sustainability for companies operating in the tourism and leisure industry. The property has been awarded the Golden Green Key Certificate. This is the highest award and means that the property not only complies with the required standards but in fact exceed them. This work continues in parallel with growing and producing local products from the estate itself: sparkling rosé wine, fruit juices, fruit jams, honey, tending the orchard (with rare species that help to maintain biodiversity) and sourcing seasonal, local products.
