Koningshof, Hotel and monastery in Eersel, Netherlands.
Koningshof is a hotel set within a former monastery in Eersel, a small town in the Noord-Brabant province of the southern Netherlands. The property is made up of several connected buildings arranged around a courtyard, with green space on the surrounding grounds.
The site was originally built as a religious house and served as a home and place of prayer for a monastic community in this part of Brabant. During the 20th century it was gradually converted into a hotel, keeping much of the original building structure in place.
The name Koningshof means "king's court" in Dutch, and the old corridors and communal spaces still carry a sense of that weight. Visitors often notice the contrast between the former monastic rooms and the more modern parts of the building, which sit side by side throughout the grounds.
The property sits on the edge of Eersel in open countryside, so arriving by car is the most practical option for most visitors. Guests who plan to use the conference facilities or visit as part of a group should book ahead, as capacity is limited.
The building contains a chapel that is still used for events today and can be accessed from the main part of the hotel. Guests can enter it outside of ceremonies, which is relatively uncommon in an active hotel setting.
