About the venue
Kloosterhotel Sint-Walburg served as a women’s convent until 1971, and the ground-floor chapel remains virtually untouched: the stained-glass windows have survived intact, and the chapel is now used for the church or symbolic ceremony. The cloister walk around it leads to the inner garden, where dinner can move outside in summer.
The hotel suits 50 to 150 guests and has 24 rooms spread across the former cells. Manager Lotte Kramer usually replies within two days and prefers a compact day programme: ceremony in the chapel, drinks in the cloister walk, dinner in the garden. There is an in-house kitchen, an organ in the chapel that can be used during the ceremony, and free parking at the back of the grounds.

Recommendations
4 recommendations“The chapel with its stained-glass windows gave our ceremony something we never would have gotten in an ordinary hall. When the organ started playing as we walked in, the room went completely quiet, even with our fairly noisy family.”
“We got lucky with the weather and could hold dinner outside in the cloister garden. Lotte Kramer had already prepared a plan B indoors, but in the end we did not need it.”
“We had 20 guests staying in the former convent cells, which was a special experience in itself. The rooms are compact but full of character, matching the building perfectly.”
“For 60 guests this was exactly the right size, not too big and not too small. The cloister walk between the chapel and the garden gave the programme a natural transition without us having to arrange anything.”
