Venue - Data Quality Summit 2007

Overview

The gatehouse is located at the entrance to the Vaeshartelt Castle grounds. The beautiful 7-hectare English-style park, with various ponds and centuries-old trees, borders the Sterrenbos (Star Forest), characterised by unusual vegetation and many quiet spots.

During the restoration of the castle, the gatehouse was transformed into a beautiful, cosy and functional set of rooms for overnight accommodation for about 18 people.

You can have a very enjoyable stay with your colleagues, family and/or friends. The enclosed garden offers a view of the adjoining grasslands, where cows graze in the summer and the country atmosphere makes you forget about the hustle and bustle of everyday life. In summer, the barbecue will be waiting for you, and of course the children can enjoy themselves to the fullest playing in the park.
