Huis Watersley, Former monastery and estate at Kollenberg foot, Sittard, Netherlands
The two-story building features a castle-like design with multiple wings and a monastic chapel added during its 1897 expansion renovation program.
Built in 1752 as a hunting lodge for the Loyens-Delhougne family, the structure became home to Franciscan monks in 1876 who established a German gymnasium.
The complex underwent a transformation from religious center to sports facility in 2014, becoming a residential campus for athletes training in the region.
The building maintains its protected status as a Rijksmonument while functioning as SEPHS Hotel, equipped with modern amenities including rain showers and mini coolers.
The name Watersley dates to the 16th century, referring to a water gathering place connected to Kasteel Born through the adjacent Watersleyhof farm.
