A fairy-tale 13th-century castle in the hills of the Belgian Ardennes, Château Jemeppe combines a dramatic donjon tower with 65 bespoke rooms, nine event spaces and its own private chapel — available exclusively for private events and weddings. The venue can accommodate up to 350 guests for your wedding celebration.
Its history began in the mid-13th century with the construction of a 23-metre-high square donjon tower, and Château Jemeppe has been accumulating grandeur ever since. Beautifully restored and set amidst the forested hills of the Belgian Ardennes — just an hour from Brussels — the estate opens exclusively for private events: no paying guests sharing the corridors, no conference delegates overlapping with your dinner. When you book Château Jemeppe, the whole domain is yours.
Nine distinct halls span everything from the vast La Grange (280 m², built for 350 guests with a professional sound and lighting rig) to intimate salons fit for 20. The renovated farmhouse houses 54 individually furnished rooms, the castle itself a further eleven, and glamping tents can be arranged on the grounds for larger parties. Ceremonies take place on the sweeping lawns with the castle as backdrop; a private chapel on the estate offers a formal church ceremony without leaving the domain. The in-house culinary team works exclusively with seasonal ingredients and does not permit outside caterers — a guarantee of quality that runs through every detail of the day.
