St. Gerlachkerk - Onderstestraat 1

Prachtig klein kerkje bij Chateau Sint Gerlach. Bekijk de prachtige wand- en plafondschilderingen. Het barokke kerkje met unieke fresco's is een rijksmonument. De kerk is genoemd naar de heilige Sint Gerlachus, heilige kluizenaar die in de 12de eeuw in de buurt van Houthem woonde. In de kerk is de graftombe van Gerlachus te zien, met daaronder gewijd zand. Zelden zo'n mooie kerk gezien!

Prachtig de kerk alles het hele complex wat een plaatje. En dan is er ook nog een prachtig natuurgebied om te wandelen gelijk aangrenzend. Ook voor fietsers extra fietspaden aangelegd dus wandelaars geen last van die fietsers . Dit is een echte aanrader wat een belevenis ?

Een geweldige kerk. Sinds kort gerenoveerd. Bij de ingang is een museum aanwezig, maar de entree van de kerk is gratis. De oude kerk is helemaal beschilderd met fresco's. Je waant je eeuwen terug in de tijd. In de omgeving licht ook chateau sint Gerlach met een geweldige tuin waar kunstwerken in overvloed zijn. Een prachtige omgeving om te wanden en zich te bezinnen.

Één mooie kerk, het is de een bezoek waard.

Prachtig onderhouden met mooie vertellingen en herinneringen. Heel veel details en schoonheid!

A must if you're around

Beautiful church and grounds! Levy saint buried here that you don't ever hear of! St. Gerlach!

Positives: from the first phone contact to our goodbyes, service was superb. Staff was very nice, helpful and obliging. We were late for our massages (about 7min) but nobody mentioned it and we still got the full length of it- which I would say is rather unique - normally they would cut it short. Dinner (in Bistro de Liege) was a culinary adventure (Game bullion and Rib eye steak - WOW!) and their wine selection was a treat itself. Also their side bread (sourdough in The Netherlands!!!!), was amazing and we ate shameful amount of it! They are truly dog friendly, and our dog felt as welcomed as we were. She was provided with big comfortable cushion and bowl filled with some treats. All over the spacious grounds there were bowls with water. Breakfast was amazing. For many people hotel breakfast it’s just breakfast, but I like to take my time with my morning meal and everything was fresh, very high quality and with plenty of choice! Negatives: they were very few and minor. I was not super happy with the spa. While staff there were friendly and helpful, I could hear children screaming in the pool, and a massage therapist talking with different client in a different massage room, as they were only separated by the curtain. People were coming and going shutting the door not so quietly behind them. My masseuse was nice, but very quick with her hands so it was more like a sports massage rather than a relaxing one. Definitely not my best. I have to say thou, that my husband was very happy with his massage, and evaluated it as one of the best he ever had. Another little detail was, that during the dinner my husband got his wine immediately, and I waited for mine through two courses. We reminded the waitress twice before I got it. I did have my sparkling water so no hard feelings about that. Overall we were very pleased with our stay! While not the cheapest amongst our other romantic weekends, we definitely can recommend it - especially to the dog owners, as there are not many similar places for them.
