Sint-Jansbergklooster Zelem

The Sint-Jansbergklooster complex stands on a hill, featuring medieval cloister walls, banquet halls, meeting rooms, and a 14th-century chapel surrounded by forest landscapes.

Founded in 1328 by Gerard van Diest, the monastery remained under Carthusian order until 1796, when French troops invaded and forced the monks to leave.

The monastery contained a significant library and served as a center for literature and education, with notable monks producing literary works in the medieval period.

The venue provides multiple halls for events, including the Carthusian Hall that accommodates 140 guests and a party room for 500 people, with free parking facilities.

The complex includes a restored 17th-century chapel known as Tutterkapel and features an English garden with integrated audio systems for outdoor celebrations.
