Sleeping & Eating
A place like no other –
Heerlijckyt van Elsmeren, Belgium
Close to nature, historical, unique
A place like no other – Heerlijckyt van Elsmeren, Belgium
Imagine a place where time is no longer of the essence.
Where you can hear the wind in the ancient treetops that have held the space silently and wisely for over 150 years.
A place that doesn't want to impress you – but invites you to return to yourself.
The Heerlijckyt van Elsmeren is a castle with soul.
A vibrant property full of history, tranquility, and warmth.
Here people meet to grow, to connect, to remember – what is essential.
The property is surrounded by forests and meadows, a gently shimmering pond, and fire pits that provide space for community and contemplation.
The rooms are lovingly designed – comfortable, simple, with a touch of bygone times and the lightness of a new beginning.
Up to 140 guests can be accommodated here – in single or shared rooms, or in their own tent under the starry sky.
The food, prepared by Nori Catering, is plant-based, fresh, creative – and lovingly described by many as a highlight of the stay.
Although the walls are old, everything you need today is there: Wi-Fi, seminar technology, and places to retreat.
And outside, nature awaits – with hiking trails, a swimming pond, works of art in the green, and little surprises that you only discover if you walk slowly.
This place is not a backdrop.
Experienced.
And if you let him in, he will touch you.
Welcome to the Heerlijckyt.
A place that cannot be explained.
You have to experience it.
Address: Weg op Halen 2, 3450 Geetbets, Belgium
SOULFOOD AT THE ACADEMY
Food for body, mind and soul
NORI – When food is more than just food
The year 2024 was a milestone for NORI:
At the prestigious Gault&Millau awards, we were honored as "Healthy Event Caterer of the Year" – an award that confirms our deep conviction: food should not only satisfy, it should nourish, connect, and inspire.
Heerlijckyt van Elsmeren has relied exclusively on NORI since 2023 – and for good reason.
Because at NORI it's not about mass production, but about quality, mindfulness and dedication.
We work with fresh, plant-based ingredients that come to your plate full of flavor, color, and creativity.
Our cuisine is conscious, healthy, inspiring – and above all, a loving expression of care.
We invite you not only to consume this food, but to appreciate it:
as a valuable part of your experience at the Academy.
An award that reflects quality, craftsmanship, and attitude – and honors the people who cook for you with heart.
