Castle 'Huys ter Horst'

Who is this a real getaway for?

Do you like places with a story? Then you're in the right place. Huys ter Horst Castle is a nice getaway for walkers, couples, families and anyone who likes to leave the hustle and bustle behind. You don't come here for haste, but for a quiet walk, beautiful vistas and that nice feeling of being away from it all.

When will you visit?

In fact, this can be done anytime. In spring, the estate comes freshly alive. In summer, the place is nice and green. Autumn perhaps suits this place best, with crisp leaves under your feet and warm colours along the paths. Even on a chilly winter day, it is good to be here. Close your coat, wrap your scarf and go.

What to expect.

At Huys ter Horst, you walk past a castle with character, old trees and paths where it is lovely to stroll. Everything feels just a little more peaceful here. You hear birds, see the greenery around you and notice how nice it is to just be outside for a while. Did you know that this castle has been a well-known spot in Horst for centuries? You feel it as soon as you walk onto the grounds.

It is best to set aside an hour to two hours for your visit. This will give you plenty of time to look around and pause for a moment. The atmosphere around the castle is green and peaceful, with plenty of space for a nice walk. Parking is available nearby. If you come with your dog, then bringing a leash is usually fine. Accessibility depends a bit on where exactly you walk, as not every path is flat. If you go somewhere to eat or drink afterwards, you can easily make a complete day of it. If you have dietary requirements, check the local restaurants beforehand.

When are you welcome?

The grounds around Huys ter Horst invite for a nice walk all year round. For current opening hours, activities and what is or is not accessible on the estate itself, check the site's website.
