Hidden in the greenery of Minderhout lies the former Mariaveld convent garden, a place of space, silence and connection.

Since 2022, this 2.5-hectare domain has been open to the public and is now home to 30 alpacas, 4 miniature donkeys, 4 Italian mountain dogs and 3 Valais blacknose sheep. A setting where nature sets the pace.

We welcome companies looking for more than a standard venue. An outdoor location for team retreats, leadership days, meaningful meetings or slow corporate gatherings.

The domain offers several carefully designed spaces:
– open meadows with two stretch tents (April-September)
– a characterful barn
– a natural swimming pond with sauna and hot tub
– an intimate indoor attic space

Experiences can be added or kept to a minimum, from quiet moments with the animals and alpaca walks to outdoor games, yoga and sound healing. Catering is honest and simple but well-considered, allowing the focus to stay on connection and presence.
